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.

Dear Sister,

Thanks for your kind invitation. Also accept my congratulations. I feel I am too old to attend birth-day ceremonies now. I sincerely hope that you would not treat my absence as an act of discourtesy and bad manners. May God grant “Baby” (Do please communicate to me his new name) a long a prosperous life.

Yours,

Sajid Ali.

Dear Shabaz,

They say when a jackal is doomed to die, it runs towards the city. I don’t think I can live in a village. It is like dying like a jackal. I want to die like a lion in my office here fighting all the files of corruption.

Yours sincerely,

Chaudhry.
