Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to inform you about a bag I left on the plane on my flight from Doha to London last week.

I am a regular customer of Qatar Airways. I was travelling from Doha to London on 6th September, 2025 through airline number A083. I didn’t realize that I left my handbag on the overhead compartment of the airplane. By the time I realized it, I had already reached my hotel.

I have so many important documents in my hand-carry including my driver license, national ID and $2000 cash. The bag is blue in color with portrait of Mickey Mouse on it. In addition to this, the bag has a lock with a flower engraved on this. I hope this will help in identifying my bag.

I would really appreciate if you could check the information about my bag and reach me out as soon as possible. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Pradip Sapkota

Task Response

The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, providing a clear explanation of the situation, a description of the bag and its contents, and a statement of the desired action. There are only a few minor areas for improvement. For example, the letter could benefit from a slightly more detailed description of the bag's contents or a more specific suggestion for how the airline should contact you (e.g., providing a phone number or email address).

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized and the message is easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, and the use of cohesive devices is generally effective. To further enhance coherence, consider adding transitional phrases to smoothly connect ideas between paragraphs. For example, you could use phrases like "Upon realizing this" or "To elaborate further" to improve the flow of information.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, and the word choices are generally appropriate. To enhance the lexical resource, consider using more specific and descriptive language. For example, instead of saying "so many important documents," you could specify the types of documents or their significance. Also, vary your vocabulary to avoid repetition, such as using synonyms for "bag" or "realized."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with a variety of sentence structures used. There are a few minor errors, but they do not significantly impede understanding. To improve grammatical accuracy, pay close attention to verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. Also, review the use of articles (a, an, the) to ensure they are used correctly. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these minor errors.
