Dearest Munish,
I am sorry for this delay in writing to you because I had gone on a two-week holiday to my uncle’s village in Punjab. I think this was one of the best and most different holidays I have ever had. It was indeed a delight for me to see big Kaccha houses and enclosures of cows and buffaloes outside almost all houses. The concept of many families living in a joint set-up was also a pleasure to watch. The bonding and love shared by these large families living together is amazing. I met many of my cousins and had a great time with them. I also got an opportunity to visit the lush green fi elds and the hugely spread-out mango orchards. I felt rejuvenated to breathe in the fresh pollution-free air. It was an experience of a life-time, which I am most likely to repeat in the future. I have lots more to tell you when we will meet. Give my due regards to your parents.
Yours Lovingly
Rohan

I am writing this letter to you to request you to carry out urgent repairs in your apartment. The condition of your apartment is pathetic. The roof leaks at various places during rains and the plaster on the walls has come out at various places. The drawing room has pot-holes and the place also needs immediate white-wash and painting. These problems are causing a lot of inconvenience to me and my family and it would be nice if you gave urgent attention and carry out the required repair work at the earliest to avoid further inconvenience to us. We hope to hear from you soon.
Yours Sincerely
