Dear Mr. Rehman,

How nice it would have been if we had known of your Dinner Invitation a week earlier! As it is, our seats have already been reversed by the Shalimar Express for Karachi and, if cancelled, somebody will be disappointed at the other end. Thanking your all the same.

Yours sincerely,

Salamat Ullah khan.

ASKING FOR A LOAN

Dear Sohail,

Would it be possible for you to give a loan of a few hundred rupees to my friend, Sajid, who is experiencing some financial difficulty in meeting the current orders for Government supplies payment for which is expected in April next? He is a good man, a reliable businessman, and a beat friend. I guarantee repayment of the loan by him.

Yours very sincerely,

Shahid Khan.

ASKING FOR ACCOMODATION

Dear Jamal,

We intend to visit Karachi next March and stay there for a couple of weeks. Would it be possible for you to arrange some suitable accommodation, not very costly, of course. One small room in a hotel near your house would suffice.

Yours sincerely,

Javaid Arif.
