Dear Sir, 

I wish to inform you that reaching the retiring age, I have retired from my present position in Takashimaya Department Store Co., Ltd. However, with a strong request of the company I will stay as a planner and purchaser of Arts Division in the company to promote those business continuously by attending every Tuesday and Friday.

I also take this opportunity of informing you that I am now preparing to open my own arts gallery at Ginza avenue where is the most famous shopping place in Tokyo. ^[[*not enclosed]] (Please find enclosed map.) So, when you have an opportunity to visit Japan, let me have an honor to welcome you at my new gallery, and also I should be most grateful, if you would introduce me valuable fine arts in your country as you have kindly done to me previously while I was in the company. 

As I have a plan to visit your country in the near future, I wish to have the pleasure of meeting you and I would appreciate your continuous assistance to my arts business as well as to Takashimaya Department Store. 

With best regards, 

Sincerely yours,
