Dear Sohail,
Would it be possible for you to give a loan of a few hundred rupees to my friend, Sajid, who is experiencing some financial difficulty in meeting the current orders for Government supplies payment for which is expected in April next? He is a good man, a reliable businessman, and a beat friend. I guarantee repayment of the loan by him.
Yours very sincerely,
Shahid Khan.

Dear Laila,
Here’s a Happy New Year gift! I am sending you a money order Rs.500/_. Begin the New Year with thrift. As the saying goes. “Money saved is money earned.” It does not matter how much you can spend. What really matters is on how little you can live. The more you earn and the less you spend, the happier you will be in life. Everybody is busy getting money and spending money. Those who spend all they get are often hard up. We must save something for the rainy day. It is by spending less and earning more that there can be any progress in life. So let us see how far the Rs.500 will go with you in the New Year. After you have spent the money, send me your account. With lots of life.
Yours,
Mummy.

Dear Riaz,
Have you heard of Socrates? He was one of the greatest men in the world. He was a Greek philosopher. When he went out shopping he did not say “I want this, I want this.” On the other hand, he looked into the shop and said, “I do not want this, I do not want this.” He found that he could live without most of the things which other people wanted. He did not want many things which other people were almost dying to get. The more you want, the more you want, the more you will have to earn. Your nerves will break down, and one day you will have to earn. Your nerves will break down, and one day you will turn a thief. Most of the well-to-do people we meet today are legal thieves. But we can hardly blame them. Their expenses are running like a hare while their incomes crawl like a snail. They spend more than they can earn. They have to make both ends meet by hook or by crook. Socrates, Quaid-i-Azam and other of their status were happy and honest because they kept their wants of the barest minimum. Be like one of them.
Yours affectionately,
Daddy.
Dear Anita,
A man is known by the company the keeps. A bit of gold in a lump of brass will begin to look like brass. One reason why all of us cannot find diamonds is that they are mixed with thousands of tons of coal. Therefore, always keep good company whenever you are_ _ _ at school or in the street. You will make better and quicker progress. You will learn many useful things without effort. Everybody will love and admire you. With heaps of love.
Yours lovingly,
Auntie.
