Dear Sir, Thanks for allocating aisle seat in first for for Mr.Ajay Sambrani (Vice-President, Sandvik Asia Ltd.) for the sector Dubai-Mumbai. Similar gesture may kindly be shown in reserving aisle seat in first row while flying johannusburg-dubai which will show the apprehension for the wellbeing of passengers. As you aware the above request was made on account of his sickness for which he require more flexibility while flying. Eight hours fly from Johhanesburg to Dubai is very hard for a person with poor health. While we admire your services, we would appreciate best solution to our request above. Hope the genuineness of the matter is understandable. Kindly acknowledge. With best regards Balaganapti Mudaliar Office of Mr.Ajay Sambrani Vice-President Mobile +91-9909035810 Fax: 02764 - 661005
