Dear Sirs:-

Re: Your file J.L. [Japanese Letter] No. 488.

You have just informed me that my property known as Lot 2, Block "A" of S.E.¼ of Sec. 31, T.P. [township] 2, Map 4487, Municipality of Surrey in the District of New Westminster has been sold.

Now, I beg to inform you that I have never consented to the sale and do now object to the sale of the said property. I might mention that the price at which you sold the above property is unreasonably cheap.

Yours truly,

"S. Shinmoto"
