Subject: More than XX months for additional booklet/new passport/... XX months after Police verification

Dear Sir,

It is with great despair that I write to you about my application for an additional booklet for my passport XXXX.

I had submitted my application for an additional booklet (Application Number XX) on XX Day of XX Month 20XX. My police verification was also completed in XX Month and I received an acknowledgement that everything was fine.

Since then I have been waiting for my new booklet and have not been able travel to any country for which I already do not have a passport. Several important business meetings have had to be canceled and it will be a danger to my job if I cannot travel to XX Country on the XX of June for which I need my new booklet by June 20th to be able to get the visa and travel.

It is with great hope that I write to you. I was told by several people that I should approach an agent. I did approach one who is asking for Rs 3000 to bribe various people in the pipeline. I am an honest citizen and would like to be proud of doing this without paying any bribes, but if it comes to this, I will not be left with a choice.

I do know senior IAS officers, but again do not wish to take any ones obligation. It would be very kind if you could intervene in the matter and help expedite the process.

I am also faxing this letter to the appellate authority listed on the website. I am not sure how your processes work, so I am guessing that the more visibility my case gets the more likely it is to make it in time.

Thanks and regards
