Dear Sir

SHIFTING OF A TELEPHONE POLE AT 135/1, TEMPLE ROAD, MAHARAGAMA

This refers to your letter of 16.10/2003 under the above reference.

I would like to draw your attention to the following facts pertaining to the matter in question:

* This is not a "shifting of a telephone pole", but a straightening up of a telephone pole, which had been tilted towards my house.

* According to your officer who visited the place for the inspection, in order to make the pole steady, it should be buried at least 04 feet. However, the telephone pole in question had been buried only 03 feet which I feel is insufficient

* Had you adhere to your own specifications of erecting of telephone poles, this problem could not have cropped up.
In view of the above, I feel that it is not reasonable for you to request me to bear the cost of rectifying the error. Therefore I now kindly request you to attend to this matter at your cost at your earliest in order to avoid any possible damages to my property since otherwise in a case of a tragedy, the consequences will definitely be enormous.

Thanking You.

Yours Faithfully,
