Dear Mr. Sam

I am writing this letter on behalf of North Luzon Company of USA, regarding its south reservation located at Sevillano Aquino, San Francisco.

It is a known fact that you are occupying a portion of the said south reservation and have built your house thereon. Your acts prejudice the interest of this company and the owner of this location in general considering that the land involved is classified as his personal reservation.

In this connection, consider this as a FINAL DEMAND for you to vacate the portion of the personal reservation of MR. Smith which you are occupying and remove the house which you have built on the premises within sixty (60) days from recipient hereof. Otherwise, I will be constrained to make representation for the employment of counteractive legal measures within the authority of the Smith and Smith Services of USA.

For your immediate action and compliance.
