Dear Mr. Jenkins:

I am formally notifying you that I'll be tendering my resignation from Widgets Unlimited, Inc. My last day will be on November 12, 2004

If there is anything that I can do to make this transition easier for the company, let me know and I'd be more than willing to help out.

I have truly enjoyed my work here and I would like to thank you for the opportunity that you have given me to work here at Widgets Unlimited.

Sincerely,

..................
Dear Mr. John,
                                             Sub:  Filing of Income Tax Return for 2012-13 - regarding
                                                                               * * * *
I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health.  I came to know that from this year onwards, I have to file Income Tax Return even though I do not pay Tax, as I own a car and a telephone.
As I know only my business, and nothing about taxes, and returns, I remembered your name.  I know you are expert in all these things and surely you will help me.  After our Junior college, you went for study of tax while I went for study of business in clothes.  Now I am happy that we both are settled well in life.
Please make it a point to visit our house located upstairs of the above office, with your family members for an informal visit.  Also convey my respects to your parents and sister.

My wife is a home maker with two kids, studying X and VII std.  I hope you are also blessed with kids.  Please inform the details about them.

Hope this business deal will renew our contacts and friendship again with a new horizon of our kids, and families.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,
Anndy
