Subject: Fine Remission

Reverent Sir,

The following few lines arejotted down for your sympatheticconsideration and benign action. I am abonafide student of this prestigiouscollege in F. Sc. Pre-Medical Part-I forthe session 2018-19.

It is apprised that I have beenfined Rs. 1000 on the account of beingabsent from the college for ten days.Your kind consideration is to be drawnthat It is not I who am at fault. I belongto a far off village which is located inthe beds of the Ravi. Last week, duringthe Moon Soon season, the riverravaged my village and surroundingareas. There was huge loss of lives andproperty. The dead bodies were floatinglike scattered leaves in autumn. Theflood cut a wide swath ofcommunication and transportation. Thenews on electronic and print media cancertify my claim. Thus, I was unable to

communicate to the office. I come of apoor family comprising of ten members.My father works in a private college as aclerk. He lives from hand to mouth. Hisincome is too meager to afford the fine.Moreover, our crops have gone to wrackand ruin in the flood. It has aggravatedthe plight of the family. The amount ofthe fine is a bolt from blue for my father.

I request youto waive off my fine so that I maymaterialize my dreams by continuing mystudies. I am a diligent fellow withdistinction in the district atmatriculation level. I shall leave nostone unturned to make the college agreat success. Your sanctioning myapplication will be a great favour to meas well as my family.

APPLICATION FOR FEE CONCESSIONThe Principal,

Govt. Degree College,

(City) A.B.C.

Subject: Fee Concession/Scholarship

Reverent Sir,

The following few lines are

jotted down for your sympathetic

consideration and benign action. I am a

bonafide student of this prestigious

college in F. Sc. Pre-Medical Part-I for

the session 2018-19.

I come of a poor family

comprising of ten members. My father

works in a private college as a clerk. He

lives from hand to mouth. His income is

too meager to afford the educational

expenses of his offspring. All of my

siblings are school going at different

levels. My college expenses have

aggravated the plight of the family. My

admission expenses are a bolt from blue

for my father. As a result, he has asked

me to quit my studies. This warning has

dropped a bomb shell on me.

I have been a diligent and bright

student. I stood the first in my

matriculation exams at the district level

securing 95% marks. I am a good orator

and an athlete. I want to serve my

nation being an oculist. But my dreams

are broken. You can oblige me by

protecting my future dreams. I can be

an asset for this alma mater by getting

some distinction in the board. I promise

you that I shall leave no stone unturned

to make this college a great success.

I request you to grant me full fee

concession and sanction a need based

scholarship so that I may be able to

materialize my dreams. It will be a great

favour to me and my family.

Thanking in anticipation

Yours obediently,

X.Y.Z. (Name). August 11, 2019.

APPLICATION FOR ONE MONTH LEAVEThe Principal,

Govt. Degree College,

(City) A.B.C.

Subject: One Month Leave/ Leave

Reverent Sir,

The following few lines are

jotted down for your sympathetic

consideration and benign action. I am

a bonafide student of this prestigious

college in F. Sc. Pre-Medical Part-I for

the session 2016-17.

I couldn’t attend the college

owing to my broken health for the last

four days. I had suffered from high

fever. I am as pale as a ghost. The

treatment from the local physician

didn’t do well. Keeping in view that

the first wealth is health, I proceeded

to Lahore for a thorough medical

examination. The doctor advised me

a number of blood tests in which it

dawned upon me that I had been

suffering from typhoid fever. The

medical specialist has advised me a

few medicines and complete bed rest

for one month.

As a result, I am unable to

attend the classes for at least one

month. The doctor’s medical

certificate and request from my

father have been attached with the

leave application for your kind

pursuance.

I request you to grant me one

month’s leave. It is a great loss for my

studies as it is a bitter pill to swallow

for me. However, my college record

and my worthy professors will testify

that I am a diligent fellow. I shall

move heaven and earth to

compensate the loss resulted from

these holidays.

Thanking in anticipation

Yours obediently,

X.Y.Z. (Name). August 29, 2019.

APPLICATION FOR SUBJECT CHANGEThe Principal,

Govt. Degree College,

(City) A.B.C.

Subject: Subject Change

Reverent Sir,

The following few lines are

jotted down for your sympathetic

consideration and benign action. I am a

bonafide student of this prestigious

college in F. A Part-I for the session

2019-20.

It is apprised that I opted

political science as an elective subject

at the time of admission into this

college on the direction of my father

who is a political and social activist.

But, unfortunately I couldn’t develop

affinity with the subject. It has always

been difficult for me to memorize the

historic events with date and numbers. I

am much interested in English literature

which fascinates me and takes to the

dreamy world where everything happens

in a different way. It is soothing and

entertaining. The book of past and

imaginary world sways before our eyes.

The unheard melodies of our

imaginations are more pleasant than the

heard melodies of the world. Literature

enlightens our soul and purifies our

ideas by getting a lesson from the past.

The art of literature is long but the life

of political treachery, selfishness and

craze for power is short. Thus I have

decided to opt English literature as an

elective subject. I have consulted with

my father in this regard and he has

consented me to change my subject to

English Literature.

I request you

to sanction the change of subject. I

shall leave no stone unturned and burn

the midnight oil to make the college a

great success. Your approval of my

application will be a great favour to me

as well as my family.

Thanking in anticipation

Yours obediently,

X.Y.Z. (Name). August 11, 2019.

PARAGRAPHS1. PARAGRAPHS

1.A few days later, the pre-marriage

celebrations began. Mehrunnisa, was put in

seclusion in a separate room till the

auspicious day. The gay songs that usually

accompany wedding ceremonies were not

sung for, after all, this was Maulvi Abdul

Barkat’s residence. Music of any kind could

not be allowed in his house. So the village

girls simply sat in a circle round the shy

bride and for several nights sang songs of

love and friendship, flowers and their

fragrance, and the romantic rainy season

which has a special significance for young

men and women in rural Punjab. They also

sang sweet songs of excitement of union

and the pangs separation.

2.After the ceremonies were over, Mehrun was

made to sit in a palanquin. Beautifully

decorated it was covered with a large silken

cloth so that the bride could go to the bride

groom’s house in strict Purdah. As two

sturdy villagers carried it away, Maulvi

Abdul walked a few steps with it. He must

have cried silently for his eyes and nose

were red and he looked pale. At the same

time he looked at peace.

3.Before his marriage, Maulvi Abdul Barkat,

alias, Abul, used to live in comfort, even

pomp. On his head he wore a light brown

turban know as Mashadi Lungi, because it

originally came from Mashad in Iran. The

glided tip of his cap used to shine brightly

above the turban. He always carried a

walking stick, a sort of scepter with

decorative bands of brass and gilt. For his

hair, he used fragrant oils. Its sweat pungent

smell lingered in the village lanes whenever

he walked through them.

4.On the other hand, nobody could restrain

Shamim Ahmad from celebrating his

marriage any way he desired. So he came to

marry Mehrun amidst fireworks with

musicians playing gay tunes. That night,

after a lot of whispering in one corner of the

house, many trunks were dragged out and

opened. The next morning when the dowry

was exhibited in the courtyard, the entire

village was stunned by what it saw. People

were not impressed much with the colourful

clothes, for this was not unusual. But the

jewellery? It was incredible. Some secretly

believed that the Maulvi had a special

amulet whose charm blessed him with

secret power to get as much money as he

desired from the angels.

1.That day, in order not do disappoint his

erstwhile disciple and his aged mother.

Maulvi Abdul took a momentous decision.

He went to his wife and said: ―Shamim

Ahmed wants me to inaugurate his shop by

becoming his first customer. If you agree,

let us buy a piece of cloth for Mehrun’s suit.

In any case we will need it for her dowry. My

purchase in the presence of the entire

village may impress them.

2.Maulvi Adbul sighed and wiped the tears

from his eyes and his face, with the loose

end of his turban. In a quivering voice, he

said; ―Oh Allah, daughters are your helpless

creatures‖! He caught hold of Shamim

Ahmad’s hand.

3.In the crowd, there was also a loudmouthed

old hag who seemed to have other views. In

a loud whisper, she pointed out the several

suits in the dowry had once belonged to a

woman who had died young. There were

others which had been part of Zaibun’s

dowry. ―Even the bracelets and the gold

nose ring are hers‖, she added with

conviction. But the gold pendants? She

raised her eyes and looked towards the

heaven as they were a gift from there.

4.Maulvi Abdul looked first towards his eldest

daughter, then towards the row of children

who had appeared on the scene. They had

all clustered round their sister. They looked

disappointed, for he had returned empty

handed. They had to be pleased first. So he

declared slowly: ―Tonight, all my children

will get a special treat. A little raw sugar

with bread‖. This did the Trick. Their faces

immediately lit up with joy.

5.1). Before his marriage, Maulvi Abul, alias

Abul, used to live in comfort, even pomp. 2).

On his head, he wore a light brown turban

known as Masadi Lungi, because it originally

came from Mashad in Iran 3). That day, in

order not to disappoint his erstwhile disciple

and his aged mother, Maulvi abul took a

momentous decision. 4). He went to his wife

and said, ―Shamim Ahmed wants to

inaugurate his shop by becoming his first

customer. 5). If you agree, let us by a piece

of cloth for mehrun’s suit.‖ 6). Overjoyed

Shamim Ahmed picked up the large pair of

scissors and cut the cloth. 7). He then folded

it neatly and placed it before Maulvi Abul

with respect. 8). He almost seemed to be

offering it as a gift. 9). In his excitement,

fear and confusion, he didn’t see the tears

which had silently rolled down Maulvi Abul’s

cheeks. 10). In that silence, time almost

stood still for both of them. They looked

dazed.
