Dear sir -,

I have heard that our property was sold. Of course this is strictly against our wishes. When we were leaving the properity with the Custodian it was strictly to look after it while we were evacuated. Since then you have notified us that the properity was sold without our consent.

After seeking legal advide I don't think you have the authority to do so. The properity, I understand was sold for $4500 forty-five hundred dollars. You have sent us the letter saying it was sold for four thousand. Kindly check your account and see where the mistake appeared.

Please reply at your earliest convenience.

Yours truly,

(/s/ M. Kanai.)
