Melinda and Sarah Have 5th Graders For Neighbors

Some of the residents in our apartment complex are involved in a conflict with the President of the group that owns the property. A major part of the argument stems from the fact that lots of people want to build a shrine to Shiva in the courtyard, and a few people oppose the idea. Anyway, the President and a certain Mr. M have been circulating a series of angry letters to all the residents. Just to give you a little taste of what this is like, here is a brief summary of the latest letter from the President to Mr. M (and everyone else):

Mr M,

You are mentally sick. We all know that you do nothing good, and are only causing trouble because you are allergic to the success of the committee. The only reason I do not press charges on account of your libelous letter is because you are old, feeble, and helpless.

As for me, I pray that the Almighty will forgive you and watch over us.

Warmest greetings,

President --- 

Warmest greetings? Yeah right. And isn't it kind of juvenile to be sending letters back and forth to everyone? Yes, welcome to 5th grade South Asia style.
