Dear Mr. Safranek,

Thank you very much for your letter. I note the enclosed card with the picture of me and I wonder if you were the gentleman who did the original. I received the original but misplaced the address of the sender and wish to express my warm thanks. I hope it was you and that you will accept my gratitude.

With good wishes,

Yours sincerely,
