Subject: Urgent repair of Grand Mall’s approach road

Sir,
Through this letter I would like to bring to your notice the need for the urgent repair of the approach road of Grand Mall, in Maya Enclave. This road has been in a rather bad shape. The road was all dug up last year to lay down new sewage pipes but it has not been repaired till now. This is causing a lot of inconvenience to the visitors who are stuck in hour long traffi c jams as the traffi c moves at a very slow-pace due to the highly uneven road. It is my request to you to look into this matter personally and urgently and get this road repaired so that visitors are spared undue inconvenience. Awaiting your early response. Yours sincerely
Abhimanyu

Respected Uncle,
I am sure you will be quite surprised to receive a letter from me. But before I begin this letter I would like to assure you that there is no cause for concern or worry. Three days ago Shobhna had met with an accident when she fell off a galloping horse during our horse-riding class. She was immediately rushed to the local hospital by the school authorities, where she was hospitalised for two days as her leg had got fractured. She has now returned back to the hostel and has been advised two-weeks rest. She is feeling fi ne at the moment and insists that I write to you to give this information. I assure you that she is fi ne and I will make sure that she takes proper rest as I am personally taking care of her. Shobhna sends her love to you and Auntie and please also accept my due regards to both of you. Yours truly
Shabnam
