Dodgy Baba - Home Delivery

A few weeks ago I was shocked to discover a letter addressed to my mum and I. (The shocking part is yet to come, don't think that the shocking thing is that I received a letter from someone. hehe). On this letter, it had "URGENT" in red stamped on it. On the back of the envelope, it had an address from India on it.

I opened the letter to find several items.;(1) an A4 leaflet, (2) a self-address envelope, and (3) two small pieces of paper - one in Panjabi and one in English. All this information had been sent from India from "Moallim Syed Azazur Rahman Burraqui" (a bit of a tongue twister!). His nickname is "Gharib Nawaz".

A black and white leaflet in Gujrati, Panjabi and English which gives details of this Sufi Baba and then says:

"If you are worldly unhappy like loss of business, not getting success in Education, any suit is going going, not marriage of children... [an endless list! He probably watches the Trisha show or Jerry Springer on Sky or something] ....I assure you will return back with success and fulfilment of your all hearty desires [I think Trisha and Jerry Springer have some competition!]..."

Then there are few phone numbers to call if you have problems. I assume you 1) pay for an international call, and 2) you have to pay extra for calling a premium number. At the end you will all be glad to know that he has said the following:

"...In case you are unable to attend personally you can mark your presence by sending any amount from your hard earned income inshape of British Postal Order, Personal Cheque, Bank Draft, and Money Order through REGISTERED POST (Recorded Delivery) to my name."

Aaah that's nice of Baba jee to be so generous and offer us ways of giving him money from our "hard-earned money" while Baba jee sits and enjoys Jaleebis and Laddoos sitting in a chair all day (paid with the compliments of gullible people who send this clown money!).


He doesn't stop there! Obviously desperate to get some pounds (every pound equal eighty rupees - so that means money, money, money!) he has repeated his requests to sort out any marital, education, work and family problems. Does he have a magic wand or something? Wonder if he can do my degree for me?

I was taken aback at the fact that this Baba in India had first got my full name and address, secondly, he has stamped my town name with a black stamp (so I assume others in the town have received similar letters), and lastly, he has gone through the effort of printing so many leaflets and a self-addressed envelope and sent them abroad. It's worrying how this man got my personal details!

Self-addressed envelope (Looks very professional! He must have spent some money printing them!).

This man has obviously gone through all this effort to MAKE MONEY! Therefore, he is desperate! If he is going through this much effort to find "customers" then why does he not sort out his own money problems and desires! Rab Raakhaa!
