Dear Daddy,
Our class is going on a one-day picnic to Lonavala on 19 March, and I was wondering if you could allow me to go as well. We will be visiting the wax museum, Narayanidham, Dukes Nose, and some dams. The supervisor has allowed us to carry snack items of our choice too. We have been asked
to carry warm clothing and essential medicines for the trip.
The contribution for the picnic is Rs 500 per student. If you don’t mind me going on the trip, could you please send across the money as soon as possible? Also, if Mother could prepare some of my favourite snack items, I will be able to enjoy them with my friends at the picnic.
I have included a copy of the notice for the other details of the picnic. I will be waiting for your reply! Give my regards to everyone in the family. I miss you all!
Your loving son,
Jatin

Dear Sir,
The G (N) and (S) wards in the city will experience 30% water cut from Tuesday until Sunday night this week, as major repair work will be carried out of pipelines in Dadar and nearby areas. As our society is a part of the (S) wards, I request you to take necessary measures to share this
news with the other residents so that everyone can make arrangements to store water for the period. It is very important that we insist on cautious use of water and minimum wastage so that none of the residents face major inconvenience during the mentioned week.
Yours truly,
