Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Dear Mr. Strauss,

Thank you for your letter from the 22nd of this month. I am currently not in the position to provide you with the requested document regarding my income. I have repeatedly written affidavits for my relatives, and no one has ever asked me for such detailed documents.

Sincerely,
B. Aschner
