Gentleman:
I am in receipt of the cheque of $200.00 which you sent me.
I would like you to understand that I received this cheque because I was compelled to and not willingly. Being a Canadian subject, I feel that you had no right to touch my property in the first place. Also I feel that this property you disposed of, is actually worth much more than you claim you received for it.
Please consider this a direct protest against the manner in which you treated my land and property.
Yours truly
"Chisato Oye"
(Miss) CHISATO OYE
