Comrade Tong Zeng,
I received your letter dated December 13, 1992 a long time ago. I did not reply early because I got sick due to the climate in winter and spring. Sorry for the delay.
I wrote you a letter last year about demanding compensation for the death of my father and older brother and economic losses during Japan’s invasion of China, with a signature form attached. As the signature form does not contain enough detail, I am sending you a table which is enclosed. Does this table meet the requirements? If not, please correct it for me. Thank you.
Wishing you health and success!
Please reply to tell me the progress of the matter, since I am not aware of it.
