PM replies to letter from 2nd grader

A second grader wrote to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and received a response and a photo of the premier.

Syeda Raunaq Jahan Sejuti, of Sonargaon upazila in Narayanganj, wrote to Hasina on March 25 about how similar looking her recently deceased grandmother was to Hasina.

Sejuti, daughter of Syed Rafiqul Islam, an assistant teacher at AGGS Smrity School, wrote how Hasina reminded her of her grandmother and went on to invite the premier over to her house.

Hasina wrote back with affectionate words on April 12.

"Take my affection. I hope, you, your father, mother and friends are well. I read your letter several times. I pray for the departed soul of your grandmother so that Almighty Allah would send her to heaven."

Hasina requested the girl to study attentively and to go to school regularly. "Please remain loyal to your parents at all times. Serve the nation when you grow up. I send a photograph of mine. Many many doa and love to you," she wrote in her letter to Sejuti.

The letters have gone viral on different social media, including the Facebook.
