Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to inform you about my laptop that I mistakenly left in the room during my recent stay at your hotel.

I am a freelancer by profession and usually carry my laptop along with me even during my vacations. While I was in a hurry to catch my flight back to Lahore, I completely forgot to pack it. This is a grey-coloured MacBook Pro, with specifications of 1 TB storage and 16 GB RAM.

As far as I can remember the exact location of my laptop, I think last time I kept it in my bag and locked it in the cupboard. I did this so to keep it safe while my remaining luggage was unlocked.

Finally, I would be grateful if you could please locate my laptop in Room 206 and send it to me through courier. Moreover, It would be a great favour if you could inform me prior to dispatching my device so I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Uzair Yaseen

Task Response

9
The letter fully addresses all parts of the task. The description of the item is detailed, the location is clearly explained, and the requested action is specific and polite. The tone is appropriate for a formal letter to a manager, and the flow of information is logical. No improvements are necessary as the requirements of the task are appropriately satisfied.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is well-organized and follows a logical progression. Each bullet point from the task is addressed in a separate paragraph, which makes the message easy to follow. To improve, ensure that transitions between sentences are even smoother; for example, the transition into the final paragraph could be slightly more formal to match the tone of a business request.

Lexical Resource

7
You have used a good range of vocabulary, such as 'mistakenly,' 'specifications,' and 'dispatching.' The use of the idiom 'breathe a sigh of relief' is a nice touch, though it leans slightly towards the informal side for a formal letter to a manager. Aim for more professional alternatives like 'for my peace of mind' to maintain a consistent formal tone throughout.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The grammatical structures are generally accurate and varied. However, there are some minor errors in phrasing and syntax. For instance, 'As far as I can remember the exact location...' is slightly awkward; 'As far as I can recall...' or 'Regarding the exact location...' would be more natural. Additionally, 'I did this so to keep it safe' should be corrected to 'I did this to keep it safe.' Pay close attention to prepositional usage and sentence flow to reach a higher band.
