Dear sir/madam

I am writing this letter to inform that I will be unavailable to attend charity event because of unfortunate circumstances.

I am feeling ashamed to not being in the upcoming charity event. I know it is very wrong to tell you about the sudden change in plan, as it will be hard for you to arrange a new volunteer at a moment.

Actually, my sister fell from stairs and she got some serious injuries. That’s why I have to go to get her to the hospital for the treatment. There is nobody else here who can take care of her, so I have to be with her until she get better.

I have an exclusive idea to help the charity without being in the event. I will share the pamphlet of our charity on my social media accounts. It will support the charity to raise found without needing to join the event.

Hope you will forgive me and give importance to my suggestion.

Your faithful,

Inderjit

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by apologizing, explaining the reason for cancellation, and offering an alternative. The explanation is clear, and the alternative suggestion is relevant. To improve, consider elaborating slightly more on the alternative suggestion to demonstrate its potential impact. Also, pay attention to the tone to ensure it remains appropriately formal and sincere throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter generally conveys the message, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider starting with a clear statement of apology and reason before elaborating on the circumstances. Transitions between paragraphs could also be smoother to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to use more precise and varied language. For example, instead of 'unfortunate circumstances,' you could specify 'a family emergency.' Using a wider range of vocabulary would make the letter more impactful.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. Focus on improving sentence structure and accuracy in verb tense usage. For instance, 'I am feeling ashamed to not being' should be revised to 'I am ashamed that I cannot be.'
