Dear Sirs:

Re: File #8254. Cat. #581.

I am in receipt of your letter of the 13th inst. advising me of an offer of $650.00 gross for my Duncan property.

This is to advise that I vigorously protest the appraisal value as the lot and materials used in construction exceeds the value placed upon my property by your appraiser. I have in my possession records and receipts to prove the above statement and if you sell at the aforementioned price I will without fail contest your decision at the earliest possible date.

Yours truly,

"T. Maruya" (08982)
