         <div>
            <p>I received your check for the sum of <num>$213.00</num> for a house on <location type="subjectProperty">
                  <placeName type="legalDescription">Block 88, <settlement>Port Alberni</settlement>, <region><choice><abbr>B.C.</abbr><expan>British Columbia</expan></choice></region></placeName>
               </location>.</p>
            <p>You claimed there was <num>$291.35</num> due to me plus all improvements I put into this place such as flooring, electrical wiring, reconstrution of foundation, general repairing and alterations and wall papering, plus all the labour.</p>
            <p>This place was more or less a barn when we bought it but I made it suitable for living and it cost me over <num>$700.00</num> for the above mentioned, and when I received the cheque for $213.00 I'd be losing quite a bit of money. Especially now when I need it most when I just bought another house and this $213 hardly helps at all. Trusting you will look into this matter to see if you can get me more money for this property.</p>
