Dear Sir,
REG:            RELIEF TO THE FLOOD VICTIMS – LENDING A HELPING HAND TO THE GOVERNMENT
You are aware that the State of Andhra Pradesh has recently witnessed unprecedented floods in five districts, killing a number of people, livestock and rendering lacs of people homeless. Crops in lacs of acres were also destroyed. The fury has affected every corner of the society in those five districts and the worst affected are the Kurnool and Mahaboob Nagar Districts.
Even our Bank has not been spared from the nature’s fury and our Kurnool branch was totally immersed in 10 ft. high water, destroying every thing in the branch. The staff members were affected very badly and some of their houses were also damaged.
Though the Government has been making its sincere efforts for providing relief to the victims, there is a limit to what the government can do as it is a formidable task to overcome the affects of the tragedy of such a magnitude. It requires people from all walks of life to lend their helping hand to the government.
Realizing the gravity of the situation and the limitations to overcome the same, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has made an appeal to the people to donate liberally to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for providing relief to flood victims, as every rupee contributed to the flood relief fund will help the government wipe out the tears of the people. Responding to the call, a large number of people and the establishments have been coming forward to help the cause by contributing to the Chief Ministers’ Relief Fund.
We, being part of the society, feel that it is our bounden duty to extend necessary help to the flood victims to ensure that they come out of the trauma as early as possible. In order to enable our members working in the State of Andhra Pradesh to donate to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, we request you to take up the matter with Central Office for enabling the staff members to contribute One Day’s salary in lieu of One Day Leave, as has been done in similar cases in the past.

On behalf of our Association, we assure you that we shall also donate to the cause as an Organisation apart from contributing individually.

Yours sincerely,
