Dear Accountant!
I was pleased to know that you are agreed to act as my accountant and looking forward to your first
visit to check my records. The accountancy fee of Rs. 20,000/- for the year is acceptable as per our
contract. The financial year of my business starts from 1st January of each year. On 1st January 2010,I have invested Rs. 2.5 million in cash. Because of new business and limited resources, I purchased 2,000 bags of cement at the rate of Rs. 150/- each on 14th of January 2010 in cash. On 20th of January, I placed another order for purchase of 3,500 bags (which were delivered me on 23rd of January) at Rs. 156/- each because the rates were expected to go up within next week.

I have drawn Rs. 10,000/- during January from the business for my personal use. During February, I did not purchase new inventory but 4,500 bags of cement were purchased at Rs. 158/- each by me on 15th of March. Sales of 5,000 bags were made to Mega Contactors (Pvt.) Limited at Rs. 160 each on cash during the period and contract of sale of 6,000 bags is also expected with mega contractors on 5th of April at Rs. 162 each bag.
In my business, it is difficult to take a holiday, but I have managed to get away for a while. The travel agent’s bill for Rs. 3,000/- was also paid out from the business. The rent of the office was paid Rs. 20,000/- for two months.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Ijaz.
