Dear Sir,

I hasten to inform you that I have just received from Mr. the Consul of France in Malta the sum of £ 1000 (less the bank commissions, i.e. £ 999.11.6 ) which he has instructed me to pass on to you

Mr Armand adds that you are to ask for the usual receipt in triplicate which he must submit with his accounting documents, and I would be very grateful if you would have the kindness to send it to me.

On receipt of your reply I will transfer this sum to your account with Barclays Bank at Famagusta.

Please accept, Sir, the Director, the assurance of my very distinguished regard.
