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.
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.
Dear Waheed,
I am extremely sorry to trouble you with a request for money but the marriage of my daughter is due to take place next month and I am temporarily short of funds. If you could possibly let me have a sum of Rs.1000/- for three or four months, it would see me safely round the corner and relieve my mind of a great anxiety. Do not hesitate to say ‘No’ if you really cannot do it. I am sure you will if you can. Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Ahmed Ali.
Dear Ahmed Ali,
Thank you for giving me an opportunity of being of some service to you moment of need. Please find enclosed a cheque for Rs.1000/-. You need not thank me.
Yours sincerely,
Wahid.
Dear Ahmed Ali,
I regret I cannot be of as much help to you as you have asked for, and I blame myself for this inability on my part. However, I am sending you Rs.5000/- in your need. Hope it would relieve you of your anxiety to some extent.
Yours sincerely,
Wahid.
Dear John,
My wife is suffering from illness and at present I am short of funds to meet my most urgent requirements. Could you please lend me Rs.2000/- for two weeks?
Yours sincerely,
Jack.
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.
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.

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,

Dear Sir,
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.
