“It is the position of our Client that your failure to perform at his Daughter’s wedding lowered his reputation and negatively affected his personality and standing in the society as a successful businessman, Industrialist, Politician and Titles’ Holder.

“Your action has caused great damage to our Client’s hard earned image and reputation and has exposed him to public odtum, dishonour, opprobrium, disgrace reproach and shame in the presence of his numerous friends and associates, acquittances, relatives, guests, and well wishers as well as other right thinkin members of the Society.
