Dearest Kartik,
I received your letter yesterday and was extremely glad to know that you have now completely recovered from the dengue fever.
It had no doubt been a most trying and diffi cult time for you and your family when you were hospitalised, after testing positive for dengue fever.
Your parents had been shocked and continued to worry about your health all the while. Now they too must be relieved and happy after you recovery. You must take good care of your health to cover up your internal weakness. Eat a healthy diet, take adequate rest and do not over-exert yourself. My only wish is that God should keep you healthy and free from ailments.
Now I’ll end my letter. Give my due regards to Uncle and Auntie. Take care of your health.
Yours
Lovingly Raman

Sir, I am writing this letter to you on behalf of the residents of our area Mansarovar View to bring to your notice once again the rise of crime in our area. Cases of chain snatching and picking pockets are rising everyday in our area.
It has become unsafe to move out of the house without fear of being robbed. Ladies feel scared to move out, especially during the evening. We would like to request you to provide security to the people by deploying plain clothed policemen in our area in an attempt to arrest the criminals. It is high time stringent and effective measures are taken to curtail this problem and to break the confi dence of the criminals who it seems have no fear of the law and the fate that awaits them when they are caught.
We all are hoping and looking forward to some immediate action from your side to put an end to our living nightmares.
Yours Sincerely
Aishwarya B-6, Mansarovar
