Dear Sir,

Rumours spreading all over suggest that share prices of the National Rubber Co. are likely to touch a new low at Rs.500. I shall be obliged if you purchase five shares on my behalf at Rs.500 or below. As I would not like to take undue risk and also keep a margin of safety, I would not go beyond Rs.500/-

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

We are pleased to state that we have been able to obtain five shares on your behalf in the National Rubber Co. as instructed by you. On account o an unprecedented slump in the market, we were fortunately able to purchase these shares at Rs.440 allowing for a brokerage at Rs.1 per share, you will observe that the balance due to us in Rs.2240/4.We are enclosing herewith he necessary transfer form which please fill in and return to us so that the new certificates may be got prepared. The exchange quotation is likely to grow firmer from next week onward, and there is every possibility that your holding will appreciate in value.

Yours faithfully,

Der Reader,

I want poor people who can walk the world around, not the rich who cannot walk a mile without a car. I want people who are both physically and mentally rich poor not those who are physically erich but physically poor. I want people who have nothing yet have all, and having all yet have nothing; who are masters and not menials of their possessions, who possesses wealth, not wealth possesses them, and who are not possessed of wealth.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

I regret to draw you attention to the inconvenience caused to us by the parking of trucks in the lane situated between post office and Market Road. In all probability this use of the narrow lane has not had your sanction and it is possible that the operator adopted this practice to avoid the convenience caused by driving to the front entrance of the shop , where though sample facilities for parking are available there is every likelihood of a challan. Besides the operator feel no qualms in loading and unloading beyond the shop hors and even on the weekly holiday also. A further point I must raise is the discourtesy shown by the operator to the residents of this lane who venture to protest against this practice. He showed utter lack of any sign of civic sense. I would therefore request you to send your Inspector to examine our complaint and the merit of this case.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Reader,

I want those who suffer for others, not those who make outher’s suffer for themselves. I want those who are miserable in the luxury of modern civilization, not those who luxuriate in the misery of science and non-sense, because science is nonsense. You can either be a donkey under gold* or gold on the back of a donkey. You can be either but not both. When we try to possess wealth, it is wealth that possesses us.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

We are in receipt of your complaint and have arranged to send our Inspector next Sunday to examine the point issue. We would advise you not to take the law into your hand during these day and let the Corporation staff take necessary action.

Yours faithfully,

Dearest Reader,

If some of the Pakistani problems can be solved the western way, most of the western problems can be solved only the Pakistani way.

Dear Sir,

We have read with great interest your moving appeal for funds to help the flood-stricken people of the Punjab and sind. We fully agree that is the duty of all to contribute their mite in this worthy cause. We accordingly enclose our cheque for Rs.5000/- measure necessitating a curtailment of our list of approved charities for the year. We however, assure you that every effort will be made to send something as soon as circumstances warrant this possibility, and we trust that your appeal in the meantime will be more useful in other directions.

Yours faithfully,
