ASKING FOR A TESTIMONIAL

Dear Sir’

I have applied for the post of a steno-typist in Burmah Shell. The company wants me to supply two recent testimonials. I believe you were favourably disposed to my work during my service under you. I wonder whether you could help me by awarding me a testimonial. If you kindly do this I am sure it would brighten my chances of getting the post in Burmah-Shell. I will be extremely thankful to you for this act of kindness. Thanking you’

Yours faithfully’

Sajawal Khan.

The post in question is not a highly paid one’ but it offers excellent prospects. I would like to thank you for this trouble.

Yours sincerely’
