To this day, I am very grateful to all the people who I have been indebted to for their warm support, and to the managers and other office staff for their detailed care and coordination. I will continue to put my physical condition first, and I will continue to do my best in the work I am doing.

I hope you will continue to support us as warmly as ever”.
