Dear Kamal,

Time flies away. I can’t imagine that I have already spent three years working in the same branch of Agrani Bank at Sadarghat. This explains my pleasure in my banking profession; otherwise passing time would have been a painfully slow memory.

I find myself fortunate to work in Agrani Bank, Sadarghat Branch for a number of reasons. Firstly, the branch is located so near my home at Patla Khan Lane that I don’t need a rickshaw to commute between my office and home. I can take my lunch in the comfort of my house during the lunch break of half an hour. Secondly, my colleagues, especially my Manager, are excellent people. Had I not been in this bank I would have missed a great opportunity to meet rare people with rare hearts among my office colleagues and the customers of my bank.

You know, Kamal, one day I didn’t turn up to my office as I was suffering from fever. To my sheer surprise, I found the whole crowd of my colleagues and a few customers in the living room of my home. They were concerned about my sickness. They brought fruits and flowers. They wished me an early recovery.

Of course, banking as a profession is a little risky. One has to be alert and cautious when money goes out of the branch. I have been trained in our ‘foundation course’ that a good banker must have a lion’s heart, an eagle’s eyes, a deer’s ears, a monkey’s canny intelligence and an angel’s noble soul.

I have decided to accept banking as my career for my whole life. Let’s see whether I as a banker can contribute my mites and efforts for the welfare of people.

Please keep in touch with me and feel free to ask me for anything I can offer to you.

Lutfur Rahman
