LETTER FOR LATE REPLY

Dear Auntie,

I owe you a very sincere apology. You wrote to me last month but due to preoccupation with more urgent affairs, I regret very much that your letter has remained unreplied. Do not think that I am offering you a lame excuse. My excuse has really long legs. I had so many guests at home on account of the Republic Day rush in Lahore that I could not attend to my correspondence. I wish you had joined the colourful crowd of kith and kin at our house instead of excusing yourself off. Rather an apology is due from you!

Yours affectionately,

Shaila.

ENQUIRINZG ABOUT AILMENT

Dear Uncle,

We are all here anxious to know about your health. We have received disturbing news of your suffering from cough and cold during the current cold wave at Murree. Why don’t you come over to Lahore when it is snowing over there? Please take better care of your health. It will be ideal if you come stay with us until the weather improves in Murree.

Yours Lovingly,

Roohi.

REPLY TO ABOVE

Dear Roohi,

Do not worry about my health. I am myself worrying sufficiently enough. Every possible care is being taken by my daugther. if the worst is to come, what’s the use of worrying? Lahore is as much within reach of the Inevitable as in Murree. If I have to die this year or the next, I will rather die at home. But there is no immediate danger or anxiety. One should be always prepared philosophically for death. It knows no age, no season.

With Love,

Yours affectionately,

Uncle.

ENQUIRING ABOUT AN ACCIDENT

Dear Birjees,

We were all pained to hear that you had a car accident on your way to Rawalpindi. I, however, gave us some relief to learn that the accident was a minor one and you were progressing well. Please inform us about your exact say if any kind of medical aid is required from Karachi. We are anxiously waiting to hear from you by return of post.

Yours affectionately,

Azhar.

Dear Sohail,

I am sending something by M.O. tomorrow. If it isn’t enough, see through the mont somehow. Incidentally I am myself running short of that thing. When you grow up, work hard, earn and save, your will understand my words. With best wishes.

Daddy.
