My dear father,
As I told you when we meet last, I have been sending
applications to several companies to secure an opening in some career or the
other. Well, the replies have started coming in. All of them are routine
replies of rejection, but just this morning I got a letter from Megagramme
Ltd., Mumbai. They have a vacancy for the post of a field assistant and have
called me for an interview on 23rd
July. As Mumbai is just four hours away by train from Pune, I shall leave in
the morning and return the same evening. This will save me the expense of
staying there. But I do need money for the train journey, food and transport in
Mumbai itself. So please send me Rs. 2500/- by money order as soon as you
receive this letter.
I will let you know how I have fared in the interview. I
hope fare well and get the job. It will enable me to send you some money every
month to supplement the family income. I seek your blessings and best wishes.
Love to Mum, Naji and Reji.
Your affectionately,
XYZ
