Angrezi – Na aati hey na jati hey

Some applications from Pakistanis who learnt English at government funded schools. A student's leave letter: "As I am suffering from my uncle's marriage I cannot attend the class.... " A candidate's application:"This has reference to your advertisement calling for a 'typist And an accountant - Male or Female'... As I am both for the past Several years and I can handle both; I am applying for the post." An employee applied for leave as follows:Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife. Please sanction me one-week leave. Another employee applied for half day leave as follows:"Since I've to go to the cremation ground at 10 o-clocks and I may not return, please grant me half day casual leave" A leave letter to the headmaster:"As I am studying in this school I am suffering from headache. I request you to leave me today" An incident of a leave letter:"I am suffering from fever, please declare one day holiday." Another leave letter written to the headmaster:As my headache is paining, please grant me leave for the day. A covering note:"I am enclosed herewith..." A great application for leave: As my mother-in-law has expired and I am responsible for it, Please grant me 10 days leave. Letter written for application of leave: "My wife is suffering from sickness and as I am her only husband At home I may be granted leave". Letter writing:"I am in well here and hope you are also in the same well." How do you write your letters ;)
