I give below a letter sent by me to Mr Nitin Sawhney of ITBC. They have taken my money, partially executed the order and have the temerity of demanding more money for completion of the order. Moreover these high flying Sawhneys and others do not have even the courtesy of replying to mails orletters.
They are basically money grabbers.
