ANOTHER APPRECIATION

Dear Hasan Gilani,

I was delighted to know from the announcement in a Pindi Daily that you are now the father of a sweet son. You and Mrs. Hasan must feel very proud of the newborn. A new candle has been lighted in your house. We are glad to know that Mrs. Hasan is doing well. I would like to come and see her on my way to Peshawar. It was extremely kind of you to have let us know before others about the blessed new-born.

Yours sincerely,

Mohammad Laiq.

ON BECOMING A GRANDFATHER

Dear Sadiq,

Please accept our heartiest congrtulations on your becoming a grandfather. We were pleased to hear that your son has started off with a son in your lifetime in keeping with the family line. I am told the boy is bright, bonny and beautiful. How proud you must be! Believe me I am doing my best to get time to come to you to feast my eyes on the young heir apparent.

Yours sincerely, \ Riaz-ur-Rehman Rizvi.

BIRTHDAY PRESENT

Dear Farhana

It is your birthday tomorrow and I wish you all the joy and happiness that you can wish for yourself. I want the wishes to be horses so that both of us can ride them together. I am enclosing herewith a small present as a symbol of my regard for you.

Please accept it.

Thanks,

Yours sincerely,

Reshman.

REPLY TO ABOVE

Dear Reshman,

It was very nice of you to have remembered me on my birthday, and still nicer to present me with a Parker Pen with which I am writing this letter. Everytime I write, whatever I write, my heart always thanks you. You will be delighted to hear that there was not a single pen in the house when your Parker arrived. A golden gift so greatly desired, so badly wanted, so willingly accepted, and so selflessly sent by a close friend like you ! Tell mother that it is long since she came to see us. We are really beginning to wonder if she has forgotton us. Why not bring her along next Sunday !

yours lovingly,

Farhana.

REPLY TO ABOVE

Dear Miss Huma,

I regret to inform you that I am running short of funds in the current month and find it rather hard to fulfil my promise at the moment. Could you inform me again, or pay me a visit early next month? I shall keep ready for you the maximum I can spare out of my family budget.

Yours sincerely,

Deba Gilani.
