ANOTHER REPLY

Dear Sir,

I regret I have no faith in privately-run orphanages, because it is the duty of the government to look after all orphan children. Anyhow I am sending you Rs. 1000/-

Yours sincerely,

Mohammad Moazzam.

ASSISTING A DESERVING CASE

Dear Sir,

Mrs. Meena of your neighbourhood has recently lost her husband in very distressing circumstances as he was run over by a railway engine while trying to save a child. Such a brilliant example of bravery should not go unappreciated and I shall feel grateful if you send whatever you can spare to assist the widow and her three children in their great hour of distress and sorrow. Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

G.M. Khwaja.

REPLY TO ABOVE

Dear Jack,

I am extremely sorry for you and would have liked to help you more than have asked for, were it not for the fact that I am myself hemmed in my own trails and tribulations. But what you have asked is a small amount which I can easily spare. Enclosed please find a cheque for Rs.2000/-

Yours sincerely,

John.

REFUSAL TO HELP

Dear Jack,

I am extremely sorry to disappoint you but at the moment every hair of mine is tied up so that I cannot spare for a friend. As the Hindi idiom goes, I cannot find money even to buy poison for myself. If you fail elsewhere then kindly write to me near about my pay day on the first of next month. I shall bee too willing to help you.

Yours sincerely,

John.

M/S Vali & Co.

Dear Sirs,

Goods supplied by you to us in January/February 1993 were found defective. As they were below specifications and hence not fit for being supplied to our customers, so these were returned to you in March to April. As a result of this no payment is due from us to you.

Yours faithfully,

APPEAL FOR CHARITY

May I appeal to you, a man of charitable temperament, for a donation to the local orphanage? The work we are doing is of the utmost importance and the cases which come to our notice are indeed full of distress. Thanking you for an early contribution.

Yours faithfully,

Abdul Hameed.

LETTER TO A CREDITOR

Dear Sir,

I acknowledge the receipt of your legal notice with regard to our outstanding account. I am sorry to say that your threat of legal proceedings proceedings in case of my failure to settle the payment of the earliest was not at all necessary. I desire a settlement perhaps more anxiously than you do; but you must realize that at the moment I lack the capacity to pay. In a few weeks, I am confident, I shall be in a position to meet my financial obligations toward you. I am prepared to accept a bill at three months if you care to draw one. I sincerely regret the delay which has occurred, but trust our relations will nevertheless remain cordial. Thanking you for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Omer Pervez.
