Dear Sir’
Thank you for your circular letter. I don’t understand how you can include family-planning into the question of house-planning. Will you kindly explain?
Yours faithfully’

Dear Sir’
We thank you for your enquiry. There can be no house planning without family-planning. Suppose you build a house for ten members and after some time you need to accommodate twenty members in it’ in that case all house-planning fails. It is as such that planning at both levels becomes inter-connected. Therefore we plan for both together. Always at your service.
Thanking you’
Yours faithfully’

Dear Student,
More has been told about our national dress. It is essential that our dress should be indigenous. The question of advantage, economy and simplicity should govern the selection of our dress. Shalwar has got all these advantages: that is why this is being used by various nations; including Pakistani Factory workers, who cannot wear loose garments, can wear shalwar. A wire man wrote that that we should not hesitate to take the best things and customs from other nations. Now let me know what is your opinion?
Yours sincerely.
Dear Friend,
Much has been said about the rights and duties of the individual. In society, an individual has both rights and duties-rights from birth and duties to society. It is not enough for anybody to claim only his rights and ignore his duties. Claiming of right must be a natural concomitant to performing certain duties. There is equilibrium in nature and the individual must balance his life and bring harmony between his rights and duties. If an individual does not do his duty, somebody else will have to do his work, because the cycle of life must move on and we can lift weight from one place only throwing greater weight an another palce, thereby disturbing the balance. The same logic appliex to rights, somebody else will have any easy access to add to this own rights and this again will be a precursor to a great disharmony in life, and that is how the process of exploitation of an individual by another individual is that he should “learn to labour in striking a balance between rights and duties, one must, however take care that duties should precede rights. An individual should be up and doing. He should have a heart for everything. The greatest education of an individual, and to wait” If our educational institutions do not impart this code of education to the students, they need not give them any education at all.
Yours sincerely.

Dear Sir,
Kindly send me your rules and regulations as I am desirous of becoming a member of your library.
Yours faithfully.
Dear Mr,
The British Council Library operates in Lahore, with a minimum of rules. All new members are sincerely welcome, the main consideration is that the few rules and regulations that are enforced or relaxed from time to time work for the benefit of the total borrowing membership of the library.
- You are required to furnish your name, surname and complete address, and telephone nember, if any, you will have to furnish local reference.
- We charge no admission fees, but you will have to pay Rs.100/- as annual subscription which falls due on April 1 every year. No refund is made in case the member decides to close his membership before the expiry of the period for which subscription has once been paid.
- We issue a borrower’s card which will entitle you to borrow one book at a time for a period of 15 days.
- One renewal ton upon request subject for a period of 7 days is possible, and after expiry of this period, no further renewal are allowed.
- Borrowers are responsible for the materials checked out to them and for their safe return. Lost or damaged books would have to be paid for in accordance with the market rate of the book, or if the book is available in the market, at a rate to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Library. In that case borrowing priviledges will be suspended until the Library is reimbursed.
- Reference books magazines and some art books are no loaned out by library. The Librarian on duty will have the final word as to which book on material can be loaned for home use.
- The Library reserves the right to suspend the borrowing privileges of any member who shows lack of sense of responsibility in dealing with the property of the Library.
Yours faithfully.

The Headmaster, Dear sir,
My son, Khalid Ali, is returning to school today after nearly a fornight’s absence. A few days ago he was vaccinated and soon developed a very painful arm. In the circumstances, the only advisable thing was to keep his indoors. In the meantime he developed some fever also. He is much better new. Though I am afraid he might have missed much on account of his absence, yet I believe he will do what he can to make up for the lost time.
Yours faithfully.

The Headmaster,
Dear Sir,
Would you kindly excuse M.A.Khan, Class VII, for not doing the home work that he should done last night? Unfortunately my son came home in the evening with a severe headache and I thought if necessary for him to go to bed. Thus, he was unable to do his home work.
Yours faithfully.
