Dear Manager,

I am writing to bring to your attention with a expensive product that I left at your hotel.

I stayed at the Kings Hotel from 21st to 28th January. I booked a special room which is located on 3rd floor of the hotel. As I know, the King Hotel is one of the most famous and facilityful place where I can find my phone easily. I lost my mobile phone which was Samsung A05s. The phone has black color cover and golden name sign on back of the phone.

I left the mobile phone while I was exploring the hotel building. Althoug I am not sure where I left my phone, I think I left it in garden. If anyone look for at garden, they can easily find it.

If you find the item, I would appreciate, and please contact with me when you will find the item. I live at Kamal Bazar in the city centre. At first you can call me through my number, my mobile phone number is 018/76656855.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

yours faithfully,

Sharif Ahmed

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by describing the lost item, the stay, and providing contact information. However, there are some areas for improvement. The tone is generally appropriate, but could be more formal in places. The letter includes some irrelevant information (e.g., 'King Hotel is one of the most famous and facilityful place where I can find my phone easily'). To improve, focus on concise and direct language, and ensure all information is relevant to the request.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. The second paragraph introduces an irrelevant detail about the hotel's facilities. The third paragraph could be clearer in explaining the possible location of the phone. To improve coherence, focus on directly addressing each point in the task prompt in a logical sequence. Ensure each paragraph has a clear focus and avoids unnecessary details.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there are instances where more precise word choices could enhance the letter. For example, instead of 'expensive product,' using 'valuable item' or specifying 'mobile phone' directly would be more effective. Consider expanding your range of vocabulary related to describing items and locations to provide more detail and clarity. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'bring to your attention with a expensive product' should be 'bring to your attention an expensive item'. Also, 'facilityful place' is not a standard word; consider using 'well-equipped' or 'renowned'. Pay close attention to article usage (a/an/the), prepositions, and verb tenses. Proofreading carefully for these errors will improve the accuracy of your writing.
