Dear Rosie,
You had promised to send me sweets when we parted last month. When should I expect them? If you have no sweets, send me some bitters. But do send something!
Yours,
Jim.
Dear Mother,
I am sending you herewith a packet of First_aid medicines as desired by you. Instructions on all these medicines are given and these should be carefully followed. Further I am enclosing a book prescribing remedies for simple ailments.
Yours affectionately,
Shahid.
Dear jim,
Thanks for your demand or command or reprimand. I am sending your neither sweets nor bitters but sours and salties. You will find pickles, chutneys, wafers, chips in the parcel when you get it. You will get the parcel if I send you. Meanwhile wait. Wait, I am sending you a if—-a big IF—-in the meantime. Tomorrow you will get an envelope with just on IF. But but me no buts. You will get a packet without ifs and buts.
Yours,
Rasie.
Dear Shahid,
Your parcel of medicines has reached me safe and intact with all the bottles in perfect shipshape order. It was very nice of you to have sent that nice packet, because here in the woods medicines are more vital than meals. Thanks a lot.
Yours lovingly,
Mummy.
Dear Everybody at home,
I am O.K. and hope all of you are O.K. I am enclosing herewith a dozen O.K.’s—-one for each. If any O.K.’s are left, return them to me. I am returning home and will bring and O.K. shirt for everyone of you. Those of you who do not like the O.K. shirts can return them O.K. and get their money back O.K. If you need more O.K.’s, please write immediately so that I may bring them along. When I return home during the summer vacation, do not ask me for O.K.’s I do not carry O.K.’s with me unless an order is put in for O.K. So put in an order for O.K. and it will be perfectly O.K. Yes, O.K.!
Yours affectionately,
O.K.

This is to certify that Javaid Ahmad has been a student of this school for six years. He passed his Matriculation Examination of Punjab University this year in the First Division, obtaining 677 marks. Mr. Javaid has all along been a hardworking, throughly reliable and honest boy who, I am sure will go for in life if suitable opportunities are not denied him.

Dear Sohail,
I am sending something by M.O. tomorrow. If it isn’t enough, see through the mont somehow. Incidentally I am myself running short of that thing. When you grow up, work hard, earn and save, your will understand my words. With best wishes.
Yours,
Daddy.
Dear Daddy,
I am running short of something. We are always running short of one thing. You know what that thing is!
Yours,
Sohail.
Dear Mother,
How are you getting on? My heart yearns to see a line of ink drawn by your even if it gives no meaning. Please do drop a word.
Yours,
Amjad.
