Dear Compliance Officer,
Hi kate
did not appreciate my name being run down publicly in your letter to me . An anglicised version of its original ethnic origin forced by colonial repression. Noteing your surname draws paralels to adolf hitler . name is not offensive or racist but thank u for your “ good faith’ response…….
cheers
Yours sincerely,
Hugh J Coon
