A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother
arrived from the US. It was sent by one of their daughters.

The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space
left in it.

When they opened the lid , they found a letter on top addressed to her
brothers and sisters.

Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Mohan and Varsha:
I am sending Ba's body to you, since it was her lastwish that she should be
cremated in the compound ofour ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I could
not come along as all of my paid leave is consumed.

You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10
packets of Toblerone chocolates and 8 packets of Badam. Please divide these
among all of you.

On Ba's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes (size 10) for Mohan.
There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and Lakshmi's sons. Hope the
sizes are correct.

Ba is wearing 6 American T-shirts. The large size is for Mohan. Just
distribute the rest among yourselves.

The 2 new Jeans that Ba's is wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that
Reema wanted is on Ba's left wrist.

Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you asked
for. Please take them off her.

The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my
nephews. Please distribute all these fairly.

Love
Smita Patel

PS : If you need anything else please let me know soon....Bapuji is also not
feeling too well nowadays.
