Dear Sabir,

I don’t know how to make a request to you to free me from my engagement with you. May I add that if you give it a good thought you will realize it is in the best interests of both of us. I have noticed that we are both victims of great temperamental contrasts and it will not be easy for either of us to iron out the rough and tough edges of conduct and character. Instead of seeing our marriageship wrecked on rocks, let us take even a lucky ship on the long voyage of life.

Yours sincere friend,

Saira Bano.

Dear Rauf,

Do not think I love you less than you love me. I will not disappoint you any more. I will not be disappointed. We meet on Sunday morning and we shall be together at least until evening.

Yours,

Ghazala.

My dear loving Husband,

Your letter has overwhelmed me. I have read it at least a dozen times and every time it has brought to light a new meaning. Certainly I wish to keep you happy. I am sacrifice anything for the sake of keeping my loving husband happy.

Yours and only yours,

Saira Bono.

Dear Saira,

I will always remember you even if you forget me, always love you even if you hate me — this much of privilege I ask of you and I hope you will not refuse it. If I don’t marry you, I will never marry at all.

Yours as ever and forever,

Sabir.

Dear Ghazala,

“The longest day is in June, they say:

The shortest in December

They did not come to me that way

The shortest I remember

You came a day with me to say

And filled my heart with laughter:

The longest day – you were away —

The very next day after.”

Yours eternally,

Rauf.

Dear Dilshad,

Please reconsider your decision about your refusal to marry me. I love you sincerely and love no body else. Without you the world goes dark for me. Can’t you take pity on me. Words fail me to write more as I feel too overwhelmed by the turn of events. Yet I hope you will not leave me alone in this dark hour of my life. Will you kindly reconsider your decision?

Yours lovingly,

Khurshid.

With reference to your endorsement No.640 dated: 22ndNv,2023 I have the honour to inform you that I cannot forward my application to the President through the Local Government because my complaint is against the Local Government itself.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

Our enquiries show that the book was available when the fine was imposed on you for coming to the class room without it, and hence there is no case for remission of the fine.

Yours faithfully,

Aziz Siddiqi,

Principal.

With reference to your letter No.641 dated: 23rdNov,2023 please note that the local Government is bound to forward your application to the President for final decision even if your application is against it.

Yours faithfully,
