Thanking you’

COMPLAINING AGAINST LATE DELIVERY

8/12 Model Town,

Lahore.

M/s Pakistan Times,

Lahore.

Dear Sirs,

I have to complain against late delivery of your ape to me in the morning. The hawker concerned always regrets his inability to be in time, they says that sale procedure is cumbersome at the office counter stage and therefore the Management itself is to blame. Will you, please look into it? Failing to get a satisfactory reply, I am afraid, I will have to switch over to some other Daily.

Yours faithfully.

REPLY TO ABOVE

Dear Sir’

NATIONAL RUNITY

Dear Sir,

Around 10 a.m. on September 16, when I go off a bus opposite the G.P.O, a middle aged respectable Sindhi, clad in simple white4 clothes, cheerfully approached me, shook hands and then, warmly pressing my right hand with both his hands closed his eyes for a few seconds and enquired of me, Achha Hae! (how do you do)? I was naturally somewhat surprised by this affectionate treatment form a stranger. I had not experienced anything like this during my three day’s stay in Karachi. On inquiry, he told me hat his son was fighting on the Kashmir front; he wished “victorious joy” for one, and all the jawans fighting for the motherland. We should indeed thank India for having served us in many ways through her invasion, one of which is that crude and selfish slogans like Sind for Sindhi and Punjab for Punjabi-speaking have suddenly vanished. “Pakistan for Pakistanis” is our only slogan now. It is high time o give, once again, a practical shape to the noble words uttered in the days of our patriotic leaders: “Who lives if Pakistan dies; who dies if Pakistan lives?”

Yours faithfully.

Dear Sirs,

As the tests conducted on your sample of sugar cubes have proved satisfactory, we are prepared to place a big order with you to the extent of 20 quintals for the month of November, at prices 1 percent, below those shown in your price list. We agree to pay the full price of the quantity if our demands fall below the minimum quota agreed upon. We may, however, add that we have every right to reject goods not up to the agreed standard of found otherwise unsuitable, or those delivered more than seven days after the date of the order. Such rejections will not be considered as reductions from the total of our order for calculating the amount of discount. Finally this contract must be considered as running from 1st March 1994 to 28th February 1994. We quote two banks references United Bank and National Bank of Pakistan for your satisfaction.

Yours faithfully,

PURCHASE OF SHARES

Rumours spreading all over suggest that share prices of the National Rubber Co. are likely to touch a new low at Rs.500. I shall be obliged if you purchase five shares on my behalf at Rs.500 or below. As I would not like to take undue risk and also keep a margin of safety, I would not go beyond Rs.500/-

Yours faithfully,
