    Dedication:I dedicate this work to Dr.P.Rajeswara Reddy, Secretary/Correspondent of Anurag Engineering College. He has given me an opportunity to work in this esteemed institute, when I was down and out and needed this jobdesperately. To be frank, I was not even in the competition, when many senior faculty members have attended the interview along with me on13th May 2007. He has spotted some potentiality with in me and created a post to take me in. That had given me a lot of confidence and

    went on to receive my M.Phil degree, became the youngest Anuragian toassume an administration office by becoming the Training and Placement Officer. This particular work is dedicated to him to convey him that I have fully utilized the opportunity he had given me and I have made my own contribution in making this institute an incubationcentre for research and development .

    Readymade Speeches, Expressions and Letters for the Students

    PrefaceSpeech is Silver and Silence is gold, which is an obsolete idea today, because these are

    the days where one has to express ones ideas, thoughts,abilties very clearly . When it comesto the professional students, No one needs to tell about the importance of thecommunication skills for them.

    Engineering students from the rural backgrounds are not inferior to the students frommetro cities in any area except in the Communication Skills. I strongly believe that they canpick up these essential skills with some effort. I call this book as a kick-starter for thestudents, who want to be good speakers or a writers. If a student uses a prewritten speechin this book and speks on the dais, it will help in a great deal to his/her confidence. Withthat confidence he/she can prepare a script on his/her own and can make wonderfulspeech. So is the case with the pre-written letters given in this book

    In order to create an English speaking Environment, we have made a rule that all thestudents and faculty should communicate exclusively in English in the college Premises. I amglad that Sudheer has given the most frequenty used expressions in the classes/labs in thesecond chapter of the book. The students and faculty , can reproduce those expressionsaccordingly.

    We know how important is the Compering/anchorings role in making an eventsuccessful. This is the first time I have come across a book that tells you how to do theanchoring in the events. I congratulate Mr.Sudheer Kumar.N, for his efforts. I have spottedthe talent within him, I have made him the Training and Placement Officer. I wish him allthe success in his career as an author, placement officer and as well as a lecturer.

    (Dr.Akash N.Patwari)

    A u t h or s M e s s a ge Dear Students,

    Being a lecturer in English Department is a challenging job because it is the only department that isexpected to show the results of its work immediately. For instance, if a student joins in the I B.Techin the month of September and commits a grammatical error in the same month, everyone pointstheir finger at the English Department. All the subjects in the professional courses have practicalapplications. Students learn computer languages like C, C++ etc and No one bothers how manyof you are able to do the live projects on your own even in the IV B.Tech using these languages. It isnot to find fault with anybody but at the level of Engineering, Students are expected to put thatextra effort to apply whatever they learn in the theory classes into practice otherwise all the effortthat is put in by your parents, college management, faculty, government and by yourself by comingto college every day just goes in vain. If you can apply whatever we teach in the English classes, youcan write or speak any kind of an expression in English. But some of you are failing to use the rightexpressions at the right time and you are being mocked at I know you feel ashamed of thisweakness. Let us not expose our weakness to the society. Let us not give a chance to others to mockat us. Hence this book is an effort to uphold your pride. You need some time to improve your Englishbut at the same time we can not avoid using English in our day to day life or at least in the college,where all the communication is supposed to happen in English. That is why I have written this bookto help you out in

    writing letters for various needs to various people of various ranks Being an EMCEE/ compre (anchor) for the college day celebrations or any other

    function or seminars. preparing invitations for Freshers Day or Farewell parties making a presentations making a speech proposing vote of thanks and many more

    This book will help them in finding out the expressions that you need in different situation asmentioned above. In this book, I have tried my best to cover all the situations that a student/facultyof comes across every day.The other work I have done previously was text-analysis as a language learning strategy submittedas the dissertation for the fulfillment of my M.Phil Degree. I have worked so hard to write the

    dissertation and proposed many new ideas in Teaching English in that work. Unfortunately, it couldnot be useful for anybody except for fetching me an M.Phil degree. Hence, I have decided to dosome work that will be useful for the students. If any one of you derives benefit out of this book, itgives me an immense pleasure and satisfaction for me.

    Yours,

    (N.Sudheer Kumar)Lecturer in English.

    Compre (anchoring)______________________________________________________________

    Compre (anchor) plays a vital role in making an event successful. An anchor of the event canradiate energy by being lively, by using the right tone and modulation, by using impressiveexpressions, by using the right body language, by dressing sensibly etc. Here are some tips given forthe anchors:

    Tips for the Anchors:

    1. Some Anchors tend to give importance to accent and fluency rather than clarity. An anchorshould try to speak loudly and clearly rather than striving to use American accent. Many

    people think that fluency is speaking more number of words per minute, which iscompletely wrong. Fluency means speaking without having breaks. Speak at a reasonablepace quite clearly. Your tongue should touch the hard palate of your mouth strong enoughfor your voice to sound clearly to the audience.

    Brit or American, flaunt that accent only if you know how to do it correctly, else you could just end up making a fool of yourself

    -an excerpt from an article on fake accent in Deccan chronicle on 1September 2010

    2. An anchor of the event must consider himself as the representative of the college/organization that is organizing that particular event. You need not hesitate to use the wordI to start the proceedings.

    3. Minimizing the use of paper to do the anchoring helps you in maintaining eye contact withthe audience.4. Remember that the lectern on the dais is not to hide yourself behind it.5. Wear a smile on your face, which acts as an antidote to your nervousness and makes your

    tone impressive.

    Welcoming the guests on to the daisBefore inviting the guests on to the dais, it is essential to brief the gathering about the essence of the event and about your institute. I have here given a sample introduction:

    Good Afternoon! I am Srinivas.N of IV B.Tech EEE welcome you all to the STANZA-2k11. Anurag Engineering College became a renowned place of learning over the last ten years, as it hasthe pride of producing several luminaries in different disciplines. If you take a quick look around you, I am sure you will agree that our institute has come a long way in the last few years. Dr P.Rajeswara Reddy had envisaged the bright future of this college ten years back and all hisdreams have come true today. It was not a cakewalk. The diligent efforts of the management,various principals, and all the employees have seen a remarkable spurt in making the college asthe most preferred one in this region. We feel proud to be the students of Anurag EngineeringCollege because we are provided with the state-of-the-art Infrastructure, well qualified faculty, a perfect atmosphere for academic pursuit. The pristine surroundings of our college stage the most conducive atmosphere reminding us the ancient gurkulas which were located in this kind of an

    atmosphere. The annual day of our college is really a moment that we should enjoy and savor.N . S u d h e e r k u m a r , L e c t u r e r i n E n g l i s h ,

    Although we have miles to go, we need to celebrate each and every mile stone in order to go ahead with added enthusiasm.

    After the brief introduction, the anchors should invite guests on to the dais. While inviting the guestson to the dais, The Anchors should avoid using the same expression to invite all the guests on to thedais. He/she has to use different expressions to invite different guests otherwise the language of theanchor appears monotonous thus He/she fails to be impressive. Here are different phrases to invitethe guests on to the dais:Remember:

    1. Before you invite the guests on to the dais, ensure that you have got the list of all the gueststo welcome.

    2. Before starting the proceedings, check with the chief Coordinator or organizers, whetherthere are any additions or deletions in the list of the guests given to you.

    3. Double check that the remarks you are going to make about your guests are factuallycorrect.

    4. Make sure that you pronounce their names correctly.

    Expressions to invite the Guests on to the dais: I consider it a great honour to welcome Mr./Ms/Sri/Smt/Dr./Prof _______________ on to

    the dais may I Invite the chief guest Mr./Ms/Sri/Smt/Dr./Prof __________________ on to the dais The next dignitary to honour us with his/her presence is. Mr./Ms/Sri/Smt/Dr./Prof

    __________ I am glad to invite Mr./Ms/Sri/Smt/Dr./Prof_______________________ On to the dais It will now be the turn of _____________________ to come on to the dais I request Mr./Ms/Sri/Smt/Dr./Prof_________________________ to grace the dais Next, we look forward for the presence of ___________________ on the dais. It is my privilege to invite Mr./Ms/Sri/Smt/Dr./Prof ____________________ on to the dais. With equal pleasure invite______________ on to the dais.

    In some of the events, the role of the anchor is confined only to invite the guests on to the dais andthe later proceedings are looked after by the president of the meeting. In that case after inviting theguests, use the following phrases and leave the stage:

    Now, I request _______________________ (president) to preside over the meeting. Now over to Mr./Ms____________________

    Expressions to Honour the guests: Now the dignitaries on the dais will be garlanded and offered bouquets. I request Ms. Veena of I B.Tech to honour the chief guest with a bouquet.

    Welcome speechAfter inviting the guests on to the dais and honoring them with bouquets, it is our tradition to

    have a welcome address. Anchor may invite someone representing the institute to welcome theguests and all the invitees one by one. A sample welcome address is given below.

    The essential elements to cover in your welcome speech are: to specifically acknowledge any important guests

    Readymade Speeches, Expressions and Letters for the Students

    Sir/madam, I thank you for making such a thought provoking speech. Thank you sir/madam, we have now come to know your secret of success, you have just now

    preached what you have practiced. I assure you that we would follow in your foot steps toreach the stars.

    That was really an amazing speech, wasnt it (to the audience...). Sir/madam, I must tell you

    that you have got the gift of the gab (ability to speak easily and confidently in a way thatmakes people want to listen to you and believe you). Thank you sir Thank you for your words of wisdom.

    During the prize distribution: I request the chief guest _______________ to give away the prizes to the winners of literary

    events/sports. Thank you sir/madam for taking the trouble of giving away so many prizes. I am sure all the

    winners felt proud of receiving the prizes from your hands.While announcing the names of the prize winners, the compre has to maintain the same kind of energy to invite all the winners in different categories. There is nothing like prestigious events andnon prestigious events. The person winning the Essay writing competition should equally be treatedas the one who wins the 100meters sprint as both of them have put in a lot of effort, one physicallyand the other mentally.Some useful phrases during prize distribution

    The winner/runner of 400meters running is.. The best student award for the academic year 2010-11 goes to________________ Ladies and gentlemen put your hands together to invite winner of Jam competition

    Mr./Ms---------------- I request the prize winners to come closer to the dais to so that we dont squander the

    valuable time.

    Cultural Activities:Everyone may not agree with me but the home truth is that people wish that the cultural activities

    start as early as possible. The person who does the anchoring for the cultural activities can afford toa bit informal than the previous events. At this juncture, completely do away with the prewrittenscripts. All you need to remember is the name of the performer and what he/she going to perform.Some phrases:

    Now we are going to have a very flamboyant and raucous event Now, we are going to have a rocking performance by Mr. Syam of III B.Tech Lets give a big round of applause to Ms Vandana of IV B.Tech, who is going to sing a

    melodious song for us. That was a splendid performance... Mr. Syam It was an incredible dancing performance by Ms Meena Wow... what an amazing performance It was a class act.As we normally do not use any negative description in the college function as does by in the

    reality shows on Telugu TV channels, any of the following phrases could be used based on thesuitability

    Dealing with the problematic crowd:Many people in spite of having desire to do the anchoring, hesitate to do the anchoring keeping theproblematic crowd in mind. I have got the opportunity to do the anchoring in the final year (in 2005)

    of my post graduation for the College Annual day celebrations of Nagarjuna University College. DrP.Raja Sekhar, the then HOD of English Department kept the responsibility of doing the anchoringand choosing the other two anchors to accompany me. It was not that there werent any one whocould do better but everyone was afraid of the crowd in the university. At the university level, wecan not expect the students to be disciplined as the students of corporate colleges. So, I haveshouldered the responsibility of doing the anchoring because I was at the verge of finishing myeducation and I thought I would not be getting the opportunity as such any more.

    On that day, the atmosphere was electrifying with Vice chancellor, chief guests, Executive membersof the university and students over two thousand .From the dais, the crowd was appearing as if itwas a huge ocean to me. My junior was first to start the proceedings, as expected a part of the

    crowd started giving slogans anchor maralianchor marali . Situation was not dissimilar whenthe turn of my other classmate did the anchoring. Then I have decided not to allow the problematiccrowd to dictate terms to me. First thing I did was to keep my voice as loud as possible and Istopped reading from the prewritten script. I tried to make spontaneous remarks. Soon I could gaincontrol over the audience and to my surprise , Prof.Hara Gopal Reddy, Principal of University Collegeand the Present vice chancellor of Nagarjuna University stood right behind me and said Those twowere faltering , you alone continue till the end , which gave me a lot of confidence and I continuedtill the end.

    Class Room Expressions for the Teachers and theStudents Teachers have to be good communicators in English. Every teacher should always bear in their mind

    that the students observe and catch the language of the teachers hence the teachers must use rightexpressions In English. Students irrespective of their back grounds, use the expression may I comein sir/madam so easily for the obvious reason is that the expression has been used for a long timeby them. All the expressions given in this chapter are also as easy as the expression May I come insir? But this small talk has to be internalized by the teachers and students and should be able tospeak these expressions as effortlessly as May I come in sir/madam. This small talk helps a lot inboosting the confidence of the students, which would pave the way for them to speak some longersentences. There are two types of English:

    Conversational English Subjective English

    Some students are proficient in conversational English and some in subjective English.Conversational English is to speak some small expressions in English fluently like requesting, takingpermissions, seeking information and so on. A person is considered to have subjective English if he/she can speak or write on intellectual topics. Some students are good at both; some students aregood at conversational English and some are good at subjective English. Obviously, speakingsubjective English is much more difficult than conversational English; however, people who speakconversational English make a very good first impression. These people use very small expressionslike Hi, How is the day so far..., has a nice day... with a good accent thereby making the otherpeople feel that he/she is very good at English but if you want them speak on any of the intellectualtopic, their true colors would be reveled. However one has to take a leaf out of their book. They are

    creating very good first impression, which is the best impression. If you go to an interview and makethis good first impression to get the job, what else you need? So, use every opportunity to use theconversational English and it has to be started in the class room. So let us see different expressionsto be used in the classroom

    Greetings and small expressions: Good morning everybody Good afternoon everyone See you tomorrow/next week

    How are you today? Fine Have a nice day

My dear friends, as youall know, our Secretary/ correspondent and our Principal, wants to have a vibrant academicatmosphere in the college by conducting various seminars, paper presentations, group discussionsand guest lectures. Guest lectures are part and parcel of having such vibrant academic atmosphere.It is indeed a remarkable day in the history of our department as we have Mr. Ravi Kumar, who isgoing to give his guest lecture on Robotics. We have heard a lot about him. Mr. Ravi Kumar,besides his long list of qualifications of expertise, has vast academic experience. He has authoredmany books and many of his articles have been published in national and international journals.Many of his students are very well placed in many government and non government organizations. Imust thank our head of the department for arranging this guest lecture by such a renownedacademician. In today's environment, hoarding knowledge ultimately erodes your power. If you know somethingvery important, the way to get power is by actually sharing it. At Anurag, emphasis is given on notonly making you academically brilliant, but to make true leaders and team players, thus preparingyou for the real life corporate world. This is done by inviting people from industries and topinstitutions to provide valuable information to our students.We Invite Eminent personalities form various Industries and Institutions to lend valuable Informationfrom their Experiences to our students.

    Speech on improving EnglishGood afternoon everybody, I am Aathira Vijayan of II B.Tech IT (A) section, I am glad to say today afew words on the subject which is of vital importance to us,English is now the international language .So it is very important to learn English well. We shouldstudy English in the correct way, so that we can make the most of the time we spend learningEnglish. Discovering ways to improve their English is a problem which baffles many students. Thereare three ways to improve EnglishFirst of all, we have to learn many English words and study English grammar in great detail. Readingis the best way to increase vocabularies and learn how to avoid making grammar errors. If we read

    magazines written in English, regular reading will make it easier for us to remember the many newwords we come across. Having a dictionary is just like having a teacher close at hand. We need touse a dictionary to look up those words that we don't know. It makes reading a very enjoyablepastime.Secondly, besides learning to read English, we must learn to understand spoken English, and practicespeaking. Try listen to radio stations, if at first you don't understand, keep listening and maintain aregular habit of listening to radio stations. Repeat after the broadcast and learn how to pronouncecorrectly and frequently.Thirdly, we should try to talk with people who will give you conversation practice. Don't be afraid tospeak, afraid to be laughed at. If we never learn to take risks to open mouths, it will be impossible toimprove speaking skills. There is no reason to be ashamed of speaking poor English. If we can learn

    from our mistakes, failure can become part of our success. In fact, the secret of success may comefrom failure.In conclusion, there is no short cut to learning English. Persistence is the major secrets of success. If you want use English as your native language, don't ever give up trying to achieve your goal. If weare prepared to work hard at it, we will be successful in the end

    Independence Day celebrationsGood Morning Everybody,At this congregation to celebrate the 64 th Independence Day, I should only say that on this day it isincumbent on us to remember our national leaders who have made sacrifices for gettingindependence for the country.We all should be proud to be born in this country. Our country is a perfect example of unity indiversity. India is the largest democracy in the world. Our economy is developing in leaps andbounds. There are so many things we should feel proud of however; there are some problemsposing a serious threat to the nations development. The gap between the rich and poor has alwaysbeen formidable and has only made the poor people more frustrated. Terrorists want to createunrest in the country. Corruption is obstructing the fruits of development reaching the poor people.My dear friends! Now is the time to show our courage, now is the time to display our unity, and nowis the time to fight against the poverty. We, the youngsters should shoulder the responsibility of transforming India from developed country from being developed country.

    Senior students suggestion for the I B.Tech students during the orientationprogramme.

    Good Afternoon Everybody. Today, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the I B.Tech students.Let me first congratulate you all for choosing the best college in the region. To achieve your goals orexpectations, you need to do some small things right, they are small things but big things happenwhen you do the small things right.The first thing that I want you to do is to be regular to the college. You should not miss any classesor labs. Students tend to think that they need only 75% of attendance to attend the examinationsyes, it is enough to attend the exams but not enough to become merit student. You should not missany classes or labsThe next thing I suggest you is to do away with the procrastination or postponing. So many surveyshave proved that it is the biggest enemy to many students. Especially you the I B.Tech students haveto fight against this enemy. You can be a bit lethargic as you have been idle for almost for 6 months.You have to finish studying the topics that have been taught in the classes on the same day itself assoon as you go home. For that you need to bury yourself in books for at least four hours a day.Learning the core subject inside out is so important but there is one more important thing that every

    student should learn almost parallel with your core subject is English language you should spendat least one hour a day to learn English. Of course, you have to communicate only in English in thecollege campus. You should not feel shy to speak English. Do not think that if I make mistakes whilespeaking in English, people would make fun out of me. That wont happen in Anurag. Everybody willappreciate you speaking in English. No body minds if it is a broken English or Spoken EnglishI asked you to spend four hours for studying core subjects and one hour for learning English

    language, which means that you need to spend at five hours with your studies. You may think that itis not possible. I can confidently say that it is possible provided that you should avoid thetimewasters. The time waster number one is your mobile phone. We do not allow the students tocarry their mobile phones into college campus rather than we forcing you, you should have a self control over using phone. For all the parents who are here, I would like to stress that if you want

    your son or daughter to prosper in their career, you should not give him a mobile phone. The timewaster number two is the television. You should stop gluing to the television in order work on someproductive workAnurag Engineering College has been the most preferred college in the region. You might not haveseen the advertisement of Anurag in the local cable TV or you might not have found big hoardings of Anurag. But we are the most preferred college just because of the standards we maintain inproviding the quality education to the budding professionals. I hope you all work hard to keep theflag of Anurag to fly high. Thank you

    Good morning on and all, I am Syam of III B.Tech Mechanical, would like to speak on the topic Ethics in Professional Education,"A professional - engineer, doctor, lawyer, or teacher - should have a well-rounded education, whichteaches the technical expertise of the field, but also instructs the whole human being about thepleasures and responsibilities of being a contributing member of society."The most important part of any career is training. If you want to become anything from a cook to anastronaut, it is important that you know how to do your job. Education is a key to be able to do a

    job. But, for certain professionals, such as engineers, doctors, doing the job right may include a lotmore than what they were taught, or could be taught, in any college. These professions must alsolearn how to be responsible to the public. People in such jobs must be instructed on theresponsibilities of being a contributing member of society.Most professionals feel their duty is to serve their client, or to do their job to the best of their ability.Unfortunately, this is not good enough. When a person's profession or the product of their work willinvolve the public, that person should also be responsible to the public. The only concern of anEngineer cannot be to make a bridge as sound as possible in a certain budget. If the people are to becrossing over this bridge, an engineer must also consider if it is possible to truly make this bridgesafe within the allotted budget. He must not think purely of the technical aspects of the bridgemaking, but of the human side. Statements like "Is it safe?" should be replaced by "Is the bridge safeenough?" Whenever one's work involves the public, one must be concerned for the public's healthand safety.Professionals today must make judgment calls that were never required of them before. They mustdecide whether what is good for science and technology is good for humanity. There must be acertain responsibility to an expert for what they have created. Should a Software Engineer use histalent to hack the websites of banks? Should a lawyer defend a guilty man for ten times the normalfee? Or should a chartered accountant alter some numbers to make it more favorable for thecompany as in the satyam scam? These are difficult questions for some people to answer. Theprofessionals should say NO to the above questions.Knowledge and responsibility are two things that should go hand and hand in professional'sdecisions. Public health and safety concerns, moral decisions, and the ability to communicate are allrequired of a contributing member of society. Better training is required to prepare futureprofessionals for these situations.

    Readymade letters for different occasionsCommunication in the professional organizations happens mostly in written. Students, the momentthey enter into a professional institute, they are asked to put their pen on paper for each and everyrequest, complaint or any for any other reason. They are perplexed by this and mistook it as the RedTapism. Something given in writing has some advantages:

    There is a lesser chance for the message to be misunderstood.N . S u d h e e r k u m a r , L e c t u r e r i n E n g l i s h ,A n u r a g E n g i n e e r i n g C o l l e g e , K o d a d

    It can be used for the purpose of maintaining a record. Authorities take complaint in written more seriously than the oral one.

    No one can evade this as long as he/she is in the professional organization as a student o r anemployee. The audience for these letters is the higher officials. It is not a good practice to writeletters to the higher officials with so many spelling and grammatical errors. Although making

    mistakes is part and parcel of learning, making some blunders and taking them to the higher officialswill not help you in fulfilling the purpose of your work. In this chapter, I have given ready-to-useletters for needs that a student comes across everyday. The format and the expressions used in theletter may look new to you but still use them without any hesitation because they are written in theformat that is used internationally. Avoid using the Indian English as much as possible because youare going to work in multinational companies. When I attended the interview of BPO of GE (General Electronics) the HR, Mr. Sandeep commentedremarked that I had Mother Tongue Influence. I was clue less at that time what was mother tongueinfluence was. Mother tongue influence is not just about pronunciation but also about using theStandard English expressions. We should not translate the expressions in Indian Languages intoEnglish Just like Chiranjeevi does in the movie Shankar Dada MBBS. The classic example of the

    mother tongue influence is What is your good name? which is a word to word translation of theHindi expression aap ka shubh naam kya hai?. The native Englishmen would be confused and hemight say, I dont have good name and bad name, I have only one name. I had a similar experiencewhen an international seminar was held at Nagarjuna University in the year 2004. I was serving foodto Prof. Gordon Tucker, renowned linguist; He asked me what was that curry. I said it was ladiesfinger, He said I am not a cannibal to eat ladies fingers. He was just kidding after all he was alinguist. He knew it was an Indian expression to okra but he just wanted me to realize that it wasnot Standard English expression. The both expressions that I have shared above had a lot of influenceover me and I want my students to be aware of the mother tongue influence.

    Let us see what are the Indian expressions we use and why they have to be avoided.

    Guidelines for writing good Professional letters:1. Before you begin writing a business letter, define clearly your purpose in writing. Make sure

    that you have a clear idea of:

    The events that have led to your writing the letter

    Your maximum aims (the most you can hope to achieve)

    Your realistic aims (what you expect to achieve)

    The information you need to explain in the letter

    The argument you need to deploy

    2. If you are writing to someone whose name and title you do not know, use the greeting DearSir or madam, and the ending yours faithfully, signing yourself with your initials andsurname.

    3. If you are writing to a named person, address them as Dear Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms____, and endYours Sincerely, followed by your first name and surname.

    4. Your letter should sound natural. Your personality should never be sacrificed for the sake of pedantic style or flowery language. Write your letters as if you are talking to the personsconcerned face to face. Imagine for a moment that you are in the same room with them.What would you tell them? Write your letters in the same pattern of language.

    I am writing this letter to inform you about the harassment I am being subjected to by an autodriver. I am doing my B.Tech in KL University .I travel by the college bus and I alight from the bus atthe Hanuman temple everyday. An auto driver named Dussaasan Rao has been following me andmaking some obscene remarks for last two weeks. I have just ignored his remarks as if I have notlistened to them. But the thug has taken my silence for granted and he has increased the intensity of

    his harassment. He has obstructed on my way to home and threatened to kill me unless I go out withhim everyday.The shop vendors of the area have witnessed all this and unable to open their mouth because they

    were afraid of that man but all they could do was to give me the details of the person.Hence, I request you to kindly look into the matter at the earliest and take suitable action.Thanking You,

    Ref: Sub-standard FoodDear Mr. Rao,I, along with my classmates have visited our college canteen run by you. I wanted to throw a party tomy friends for winning a prize in the quiz competition. Unfortunately, the sub-standard food servedin your restaurant really dampened our spirits.We have ordered Egg puffs first. The puffs are tasteless and moreover the eggs had a rotten smell.The server had told us that it happened for the first time. Unwilling to disappoint my friends, I haveordered some chips. Even they had not been any better. They are stiff and dripping with poor quality

    oil.

    I hope in future the quality of your food is able to match up to the quality of your service.
