Indians are serious???!! ....Think again!!!

One of my friends from Bangalore sent me the following mail. Indians sometimes are considered to be serious minded people at the work-place. But after reading the examples i have come to a conclusion that despite their best efforts they still produce some gems. Read the following for a quick laugh!!!
1. Infosys, Bangalore: An employee applied for leave as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife,please sanction me one-week leave."

2. This is from an employee of Oracle Bangalore, who was performing the "mundan" ceremony of his 10 year old son:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"as I want to shave my son's head, please leave me for two days.."
3. Another gem from CDAC. Leave-letter from an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"as I am marrying my daughter, please grant a week's leave.."
4. From H.A.L. Administration dept:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"As my mother-in-law has expired and I am only one responsible forit, please grant me 10 days leave."
5. Another employee applied for half day leave as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Since I've to go to the cremation ground at 10 o-clocks and I maynot return, please grant me half day casual leave"
6. An incident of a leave letter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am suffering from fever, please declare one day holiday."
7. A leave letter to the headmaster:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"As I am studying in this school I am suffering from headache. Irequest you to leave me today"
8. Another leave letter written to the headmaster:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"As my headache is paining, please grant me leave for the day."
9. Covering note:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am enclosed herewith..."
10. Another one:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dear Sir: with reference to the above, please refer to my below..."
11. Actual letter written for application of leave:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My wife is suffering from sickness and as I am her only husband athome I may be granted leave".
12. Letter writing: -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am in well here and hope you are also in the same well."
13. A candidate's job application:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This has reference to your advertisement calling for a ' Typist and anAccountant - Male or Female'... As I am both (!!)For the past severalyears and I can handle both with good experience, I am applying for thepost. "

Thanking You,
