Letters

"Missing" Parcels

Sir, —This is to inform you that I have learned from your PIM (June, p. 37), of a person whose name is SELA LATU, who has a letter relating to her parcels lost or missing in the Nukualofa post office. This is absolutely not true, and I am afraid such a letter gives a bad name not only to the Postal Department but to the Tonga Government. Please forward at your earliest convenience the full and correct name and address of Miss Latu, which is urgently required for further

investigation.

S. K. Holani,

Chief Postmaster Nukualofa, Tonga.

Sir, —I read in the June issue of PIM a letter about missing parcels, under the signature of “Sela Latu”. Knowing that there is no other Tongan in Sydney of that name I would like to state that I did not write that letter.

I do not know anything about the postal work in Tonga in connection with missing parcels; at all times I have received my mail from home safely, and they have always received anything I have sent, and I certainly have no complaint to make about the postal services.

I would like to apologise to the postal staff in Tonga for any trouble this letter may have caused them and to assure them that I did not write it, but some person used my name to cover his or her identity, a very unpleasant trick.

Sela Latu

Newtown,

Nsw.

• The letter published in June “PIM” over Sela Latu’s name bore a false signature and address. The forged letter has been handed to the police.

We apologise for the embarrass ment its publication has caused to the chief postmaster and his staff and to Miss Latu.
