In view of the indiscreet attitude adopted by your office
in handling this matter and the fact that your office does not take
this matter seriously, coupled with the fact that we are just the
ordinary man in the street with no knowledge of the law and having no
expertise to tackle this matter professionally, we have therefore
decided to instruct a professional surveyor to act and assess the
losses for us. Meanwhile, as the requirement of a surveyor arises
from the construction of the footbridge by your office, all fees
incurred in this connection shall be borne by your office.
Should
your office not express any view within 2 weeks from the date of this
letter, this can be interpreted as consent and we will then select
the surveyor to carry out the evaluation work.
Besides, your office had indicated at the meeting that the
compensation section had not received part of our letters claiming
for compensation. However, the Development Department did get those
letters and had even given its replies. This is in fact a question
of efficiency within the Government. Nevertheless, for the sake
of avoiding any further misunderstanding by your office, a set of
photostat copies of all previous letters are submitted to the
Compensation Section of your office for reference.
Yours faithfully,
HO Chung-hin,
Director
for and on behalf of
Tin Shing, Pawn Shop Ltd.
