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
