Dear Mahi/Manav
I have learnt from your parents that you have fallen a victim to COVID - 19. I know presently you are shifted to isolated ward. You must not let the negative thoughts in your mind. You should practice meditation to overcome your loneliness.
You did a good job by seeking medical help well in time. You will get the best treatment there. However it will take time to recover. Remember that God is around us. I hope you will defeat this virus and you may recover soon. Sincerely follow the instructions given by doctors. Many people have successfully recoverd from this disease. I hope you will also defeat it and recover soon. Take proper rest and be careful of your health.
I wish for your speedy recovery.
Yours truly
Sakshi / Saksham

Write a letter to the Bank Manager for reissuing your ATM card.

Subject : Application for re-issuing my ATM card

Sir,
This is to draw your kind attention towards a problem I have been facing since a few months regarding my ATM card.
My ATM did not undergo any transaction for last three months. Due to which it got blocked and further transactions were denied. I consulted with concerned authorities in bank and they advised me to file an application for re-issuing new ATM card under same details. I filled my application and submitted it to the relevant counter from where I was asked to wait for a 3-4 weeks. After the given period I visited bank again and they asked to re-file the application. I have filed two applications regarding the same but to no avail. Neither I have received my ATM card nor any response.
Please inform me how long it is going to take to get my ATM card reissued. If there is some other process to be followed, kindly instruct me about it. I have visited bank in person several times but it is not getting me anywhere. This is really causing me difficulties sir. Kindly acknowledge the matter as soon as possible.
Quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanking You
Yours Truly
Tarun
