Honourable Sir,

By the part of all the labourers we address you the following letter. May you have a good, safe trip. We bless you to reach your family safe, and happy. Also we hope, that leaving Cyprus, you will never forget our labourious hands that worked in for this nottable and holy purpose. Have in mind that we are all Greek and demand the National Union. We hope this is enough, and we expect you to return again in our island, in order to bring in light all the ancient Greek Cyprus towns. The Representative of the Labourers.
