Hi,

"common purpose.pdf" appears to be a scanned document which is
almost completely illegible. Please could you rescan this at an
appropriate resolution and check that the result is legible before
resending?

Yours sincerely,

Ganesh Sittampalam

Dear Mr Sittampalam,

Unfortunately, the only format in which the document is retained is as a pdf. I have provided another copy which you can increase in size.

Please accept my apologises but there is nothing more I can do.

Yours sincerely,

This is unacceptable. The document is illegible.

What happened to the original document from which the .pdf was generated?

M. Mouse left an annotation (10 August 2010)

"The Chinese orthography centers around Chinese characters, hanzi, which are written within imaginary rectangular blocks, traditionally arranged in vertical columns, read from top to bottom down a column, and right to left across columns."

I think I prefer the first version of the idiotic "document", as the second version appears wrongly aligned according to the above quote.

The original document was obviously on paper, so unless it went AWOL or died in a fire, flood or shredding machine etc. then I can see no reason why it can't be re-scanned in a much higher, and thus legible, resolution. Perhaps they could even consider rotating it, making it easier to read by those who are more familiar with the left-to-right writing style, though some software used to view PDF files do allow the image to be rotated.
