WRITE A LETTER TO THE WRITER OF A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE APPRECIATING HIS WORK.

  27, Outram lanes Safdarjung Enclave Delhi   24th October 2015   The Editor Sunday Times Hindustan express   Sub. 'Tears from the shadows series.   Sir,   I, Prakash, am a student of political science at Delhi University, and a regular reader of your articles in the Hindustan express. I like them for the simple yet sharp style of expression, logical analysis and historical perspective in which things are explained. The recent series you started, Tears from the shadows', was excellent in terms of the research you've done for the topic, and the element of emotion you tried to bring into it. It's a sad truth that most of us remain blind to the roadside children, who are mutilated by the begging lobby, to make sure they obey, and stick to begging. We all know of child rights, and we all know that we can help them by calling the helpline number, but we remain complacent with our own little lives. More than the lobby, I think, it is we by our silent approvals that create these child beggars. Your article inspired me to finally accept and understand the world around me as it actually existed.   Yours sincerely, Prakash

Fifty employees of my company were to travel on that train, for which a reservation was made. When they got into the train, they were asked to deboard saying their names were not on the reservation chart, even after showing the copy of the e-slip that was generated by the website. We had to provide them with flight tickets, so that they could participate in the conference, resulting in double loss for the company.

WRITE A LETTER TO THE SUPERIOR OFFICER REGARDING POOR INFRASTRUC- TURE IN YOUR DEPARTMENT, REQUESTING HIM TO IMPROVE IT. YOU ARE THE HEAD OF SALES DEPARTMENT.

  Senior Manager Sales Department Ashish Developers   4th June 2016   The Vice President Ashish Developers   Sub: Request for infrastructure improvement.   Sir,   As you know, our department has expanded from 10 members to 25 members now. Still, there has been no corresponding expansion in the infrastructure in our office. This creates mismanagement, as we are forced to allot seats to the employees on a first-come-first serve basis. This even leads to altercations sometimes. Not giving employees the facilities they need to do their work properly is against work ethics, and creates an atmosphere not conducive to work. Even though I had made requests before for providing us with required infrastructure, I haven't received any response so far. I hope you’ll take requisite steps to make sure that the issue is resolved.   Thanking you, Bhagat Kumar
