During our campaign for an improved postal
service, in the last few months considerable improvements
in the processing mails, particularly in the area of speed
and security have been made. It is our belief that only
by accepting suggestions and criticism from our patrons
will we be able to correct mistakes and improve our
service. We need your suggestions to improve our
efficiency.
Please address your letter with suggestions to the "Directorate
General of Posts, Ministry of Communications, Nanking."
No stamp is necessary if you use the printed label below for
postage. We hope that you will respond to our appeal by'
giving us your opinion.
