These are extracts from genuine letters from tenants sent to Manchester City Council (Repairs Division): + I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage. + This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door. + The lavatory is blocked, this is caused by the boys next door throwing balls on the roof. + The toilet is cracked, where do I stand? + I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall. + I'm still having trouble with the smoke in my built-in drawers. + I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. + Our lavatory seat has broken in half and is now in three pieces. + I want some repairs doing to my cooker, as it has backfired and burnt its knob off. + The toilet is blocked and I can't bath the children until it is mended. + The person next door has a large erection in his back garden which is unsightly and dangerous. + Will you please send someone around to mend our broken path, yesterday my wife tripped and fell on it and now she is pregnant. + Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone round to do something about it. + Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink. The following sentences were taken from actual letters received by the Illinois Welfare Department in application for financial support: + I am forwarding a marriage certificate and six children. I have seven, one died, which are baptized on a half piece of paper. + I am writing the Welfare Department to say that my baby was born two years old.

Can you tell me why? + I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead. + This my eighth child. What are you going to do about it? + Please find out for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am living with can't eat or do thing until he knows. + I am very annoyed to find out you branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie, as I was ied a week before he was born. + I answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing 10 pounds. I hope this is satisfactory. + I am forwarding my marriage certificate and 5 children, one of which is a mistake as you can see. + My husband got his project cut off two weeks ago, and I haven't had my relief since. + Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will be forced to lead an immorral life. + You changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make a difference? + I have no children yet as my husband is a truck driver and works day and night. + In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope. + I want money quickly as I can get it. I have been in bed with the doctor for two weeks, and he doesn't do any good. If things don't improve I will have to get another doctor to help him. |
