            <p>Your remarks have been carefully read and we can appreciate that the disposal of your property will be a matter of personal concern.

            <p>Your letter has been placed upon our files so that your comments in regard to this sale will remain on record but we can only advise you that we are unable to consider any alternative in regard to this matter.</p>
