کله چې تاسو خپل غوښتنه و سپارئ، زموږ کاري ډله به ستاسو سره د ټلیفون له لارې اړیکه ونیسي. پام مو وي چې نامعلومه او نا اشنا شمېرو زنګونو هم ځواب کړئ.

که چیري تاسو تر یو څخه زیات شمېر کسانو لپاره د خدماتو غوښتنه ولرئ، نو مهرباني وکړئ یوه فورمه وسپارئ او په هغه خالي ځای کې چې په فورمه کې په نښه سوی دی، د هر کس نوم جلا جلا ولیکئ.
