Dear Naveed,
Your college report has pained me. I am sad to learn that you are not doing well in your studies. I learn you are more than fond of sport. Games are quite good, but you must not nuglect your studies. Too much of games is as bad as is too much of studies. Remember, too much of anything is bad. By playing too much and not reading at all, as they say, you feed the body but starve the soul. Do not neglect your studies now that your Intermediate Examination is at hand. You passed your Matriculation at a very young age. I hope you will not pass your B.A. in old age. Do not be like the rabbit who went fast in the beginning but then he slept, and the snail soon overtook him. With love and a box of sweets.
Yours Lovingly,
Daddy.
