Dear Sirs:

I am returning this cheque to you because I am not satisfied with it.

I wrote a letter to you asking you not to sell my property but you did so without my consent at a very unreasonable price and that is why I am sending the enclosed cheque back to you.

I would also like to remind you that I am a veteran of the First World War and should have at least some rights.

The enclosed is the cheque for the amount of $474.14.

Yours truly,

Sam I. Uegama,
Reg. No. 03236.
