, Bahrain.
I have the honour to inform you that I have a Nash
car, model 3$, which I purchased for Rs.8,000/-. For
its repairs I spent Rs.1,000/-, but I regret it has not
been repaired satisfactorily. I want to sell it but
I find it necessary for me to request you to favour me
with a permit for its export. I am doubtlessly confident
t
that you will help me. Especially when you see the .
number of cars exported last year and the year before,
you will find that some people permits while others
got two permits each, but your friend did not so as
the others did. I have put up this application for
the above reason. Your decision is preferred.
A.G.
only half of its cost or even less has been offerred.
