Dear Jemma,
Hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing this letter to share some insights and details about the latest bulletin on ‘Demonetization’ in India. This is one of the most influential decisions which our current Prime Minister has formalised to curb the black marketing and laundering of money. The current government has taken this step to ameliorate the economic progress of our nation.
With the demonetisation policy being implemented, people are in a state of panic and therefore visiting their respective banks to get their money exchanged with the new and valid currency. Citizens are following this news thread keenly to anticipate the possible results of this change on the items of daily use.
As a result of this overnight economic transformation, I am feeling a bit agitated since I will have to get my available cash in hand, replaced as soon as possible. However, with the current situation of public hysteria, my schedule might get disturbed.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Love
Chaitali
