A letter of sympathy to a friend who
failed in the Intermediate Examination by one mark.

My dear Wasif,
I was greatly surprised
to read the news of your failure. Failure is no doubt sad but, doubly so, in
such circumstances. It is needless to add that I fully sympathise with you in
your misfortune.
It seems the University
people are perfectly indifferent to individual happiness, otherwise, they would
not allow such obvious injustice to be overlooked. Imagine a boy failing by one
mark! It is nothing but a case of studied neglect on the part of the examiner
who would have surely detected his own mistake if he cared to reconsider his
own marking. We must do something to prevent such injustice in the future.
However, I am sure you
will not take it to heart and waste your time in idle lamentation. Mere worry
is no remedy. If you begin to work wholeheartedly from this day, you will
surely come out with flying colours next year.
Cheer up, old boy!
Ever
yours,
Imran
Khan.
