slm  ;-)

The following sentences were taken from actual letters received by the Illinois Welfare Department in application for financial support:

# I am forwarding a marriage certificate and six children. I have seven, one died, which are baptised on a half piece of paper.

# I am writing the Welfare Department to say that my baby was born two years old. When do I get the money.

# Mrs. Jones has had no clothes for a year, and has been visited regularly by the preacher.

# I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why?

# I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead.

# This my eighth child. What are you going to do about it?

# Please find out for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am living with can't eat or do anything until he knows.

# I am very annoyed to find out you branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie, as I was married a week before he was born.

# I answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing 10 pounds. I hope this is satisfactory.

# I am forwarding my marriage certificate and 5 children, one of which is a mistake as you can see.

# My husband got his project cut off two weeks ago, and I haven't had my relief since.

# Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will be forced to lead an immorral life.

# You changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make a difference?

# I have no children yet as my husband is a truck driver and works day and night.

# In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.

Assalamu'alaikum...

A retired old man came over to our office, asking for financial assistance...

reason?

I'm old and retired and I have 3 young children (all below 4 years old) from my 2nd marriage.

U're divorced?

Yes.

So, why do U marry, knowing that U won't be able to afford a new family?

'coz, I wanna show to my ex-wife, that I can still marry a virgin.

==============
Seriously... this happens in our community.. and this is no joke.

wallahua'lam
