| | Can I have any other term instead of
.? Dear Sir/Madam, Lets consider that there are two very close friends. One of them says to the other that you have to have your food in time, because you are so weak. Also the same says I am not an eligible person to advice you, because I am not having my food in right time. But as you are my intimate friend, I would like to suggest you. Thats all
Lets leave it at that. What I am asking is in this case Can I have any other terms like unauthorized person, deserved instead of an eligible person? thanks winston |

I'm not the best person to be giving advice. I'm not eating well either. |
