Re: Reply to the Fax

Dear Sir:

        I believe that you passed the operation successfully and sincerely
hope you'll be recovered in a short time.

        Following is the reply to your fax dated June 10, 1996.

       -- Repair of Boilers:
        Dr. Cha Gi Choi picked up the cash correctly on May 21, 1996 from
ING North-East Asia Bank in Pyongyang, to which you had remitted the cash
for the 2nd time for the repair of boilers of Huichon Hospital.

        Therefore, including the one donated during your visit to our
country your cash donation reaches the total of $10,000 among which $9,500
have been used for repairing boilers and $500 have been used to purchase
foodstuff for the children patients of pediatrics in the Hospital.

        --40,000 pounds of milk powder, 50 mtn of White Flower and
Medicines as well as their transportation.
        I hereby clarify that we will receive the above mentioned donation
goods believing that the organization you introduced to us intends to
donate these goods in noble humanitarian wishes.
        As to the transportation of these donation goods, there are
considerable number of our vessels that carry cargo at present, to and from
Japanese ports of Sibushi, Hamizi, Kajima, Toyoyashi, etc., therefore our
vessels may transport these donation goods from optional port among these
ports for donor's convenience, provided you have the donation goods been
transported up to the port that is accessible to our vessel.
        In this case you are kindly requested to make the donor part cover
the port dues and shipping fees.
        Major necessary medicines for the flood affected people and
children at present are assorted antibiotics, vitamins, cold medicines and
so on.
        Once more I express my thanks to you for your humanitarian
assistance efforts for the flood damage rehabilitation of our country.

With best regards,
