Dear Sir:

You have informed me that my property known located at 1557 Pacific Highway, R. R. #4, New Westminster, B. C. has been sold.

As you are aware, I have never consented to the sale nor ratified it but have at all times and do now object to the sale of my said property. Because, however, I am in destitute circumstances I am now deprived of the income from my said property which I formerly enjoyed, I have to request from you, the proceeds of the sale of the property in order to maintain myself and family but in doing so I wish it made clear that it is only being accepted under protest and without prejudice to any rights which I have or may have arising our of what I consider the wrongful sale and disposition of my property.

Yours truly,

"S. Sano"
Shigeichi Sano.
