Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to enquire about the process of becoming a member of the I-Fitness Gym located at Citec Estate Jabi, Abuja.

I recently moved into the neighbourhood, and I came across your organization’s profile while browsing through Instagram. I am interested in registering with your facility and would like to know what types of membership are available. Also, could you inform me about the various prices for each of the available packages?

The information provided on your page does not give enough details regarding the fitness activities that are available. As a result, I would be grateful to know which particular services are available. I am more interested in skipping and abs classes because my main goal is to loose as much weight as possible.

In order to assist me in registering as soon as possible, I would also appreciate it if you could tell me about what the joining procedure is like. Do I need to fill any form online or can I just walk into your premises to obtain the registration form? Moreover, you could let me know if there are any necessary documents I need to come along with.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Anastasia Igbena.

Task Response

The letter effectively addresses all three required points: membership types and prices, available activities, and joining procedure. The tone is appropriate and the letter is well-structured. Minor lapses include a slight spelling error ('loose' instead of 'lose') and a minor grammatical issue ('what the joining procedure is like' could be more concise). To achieve a higher score, ensure flawless grammar and spelling, and consider making the request for activities more general rather than focusing solely on personal interests.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. Each paragraph addresses a specific question from the task, and the flow is logical. The use of cohesive devices is natural and unobtrusive. Paragraphing is skillfully managed, with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and varied, with some good collocations (e.g., 'enquire about', 'come across', 'register with'). However, there is a minor spelling error ('loose' instead of 'lose') and a slight awkwardness in 'what the joining procedure is like' (could be 'what the joining procedure involves'). Overall, the range is good but not fully sophisticated. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is accurate throughout, with a wide range of structures used flexibly. Punctuation is correct. The letter demonstrates full control of grammar, with no errors that affect clarity.
