CHEQUE REFUSED AND RETURNED FOR REDEPOSIT

The Custodian's Office,
Department of the Secretary of State,
Vancouver, B.C.

Dear Sirs:

I found a cheque from you in the mail today, but I cannot acknowledge receipt of this cheque and am returning this to you. And as for the account of Mr. Naruse's, I have it arranged to pay him myself.

For the amount of the cheque, I cannot replace what I had before. It is just enought to buy one bed or so and cannot even buy the chinaware, kitchenware, three beds, dressers and other furniture and chattels that I had. And also I have not given authority to seel my property.

Therefore, I am not acknowledging this cheque and am returning it to you.

Yours truly,

(signed) T. Ishikawa
