Do not feel distressed. My father is not dead. He has gone to heaven.

Dear Laila,
Here’s a Happy New Year gift! I am sending you a money order Rs.500/_. Begin the New Year with thrift. As the saying goes. “Money saved is money earned.” It does not matter how much you can spend. What really matters is on how little you can live. The more you earn and the less you spend, the happier you will be in life. Everybody is busy getting money and spending money. Those who spend all they get are often hard up. We must save something for the rainy day. It is by spending less and earning more that there can be any progress in life. So let us see how far the Rs.500 will go with you in the New Year. After you have spent the money, send me your account. With lots of life.
Yours,
Mummy.
Dear Raffo,

Dear Shafi,
Just a line to tell you how much we enjoyed your company at the Zoo. It goes to your credit to have planned such a picnic. Even the ice-cream party was inspired by you. I was never great for going to things by myself. We all appreciate your suggestions very much.
Yours lovingly,
Abdur Rahim.
