Dear Sirs:

In regard to the letter we received some time last year regarding my property at 125 Garry Street, Steveston, B. C. which you have sold to the S. S. Board at the low price which I don't approve and which you had no right to sell without my consent. And for the matter for the record I do not consent to this selling of my property, even if it is the "Order-in-Council's" order.

Since you have sold the property already and as I had the statement regarding my account with you will you please close my account with you and send the balance of the credit due me as the money I have in your account is not giving me any interest whatsoever, and I need the money to rent the house here in Grand Forks, B. C. for living expenses as I am not working and needs the money right away.

And please send the statement up to date regarding my account.

Yours truly,

"I. Konishi"
