Re: File No. 7524 -- land sale.

Dear Sirs:

I very much regret to acknowledge receipt of letter and statement informing me of the sale of my property in Surrey. I was further astonished by the sale price of the transaction being so ridiculously low. Even though the transaction was completed some time ago I am sure that real estate value was never so low and out of reason.

I am sure that you know that I was never willing nor have I given you any hint or advice at any time to sell my property at any price.

Yours very truly,

"Chonosuke Tsumura"
