SITUATION VACANT

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,

Author.

OVERDRAW FROM A BANK

Dear Sir,

As you know Eid is approaching which is the time when my turnover is likely to considerably increase. As my stocks are extremely low and I am unable to get long term credits from wholesalers, I find myself in a great difficulty and consequently approach you with a view to obtaining a small overdraft. I may add that credit is withheld from me merely because I am comparatively a new-comer in the business. I will however, make do with an advance of Rs.10,000/- and drawings would be spread over a period of the month ending by the 15th of December. I should undertake to place my account in credit not later than 31stJanuary, next. I hope you would allow me this advance merely against my personal surety; in that case I would very much allow you to inspect my books of account to satisfy yor with the promptitude with which my payments are normally made.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

We are in receipt for your letter for overdraft. We are sorry to say that ordinary your request cannot be accepted. We can, however in apprecition of your difficulties, consider your request for a loan of Rs.10,000/ against some tangible security. Would you be able to provide a Guarantor, or in the alternative to deoposit with us some collateral security such as gold or share certificates? We hasten to point out that these precautions are general practice of our Bank and have nothing to do with the personal signifinance of the borrower. The rate of interest on such borrowings, subject to the above-quoted conditions, is 10 percent, on daily balances.

Yours faithfully,

REPLY TO ABOVE

Dear Sir,

I note with regret from our letter dated: 29thNovember,2023 that you are unable to allow me an overdraft against persona surety, I however appreciate your position, and as required by you enclose herewith a letter of guarantee from Messrs Rizvi and Company duly signed and stamped. I understand that the Guarantors are fully known to you. By the same logic, I trust that now you would accept the surety offered and finance me to the extent of Rs.10,000/- for the period agreed at he rate of 10 Percent on daily balances.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
