Dear Špela,

On July 20, 2021 you wore the dress I gave you and emailed me a picture of it. Thank you so much. Your beautiful smile is so charming.
I still treasure that picture.
You are the owner's eldest daughter and the representative director.
I am also the eldest daughter of the owner (late my father) and my husband is the representative director.
You are an important person in a similar position to me, so on October 11, 2022, when Mr. Skočir came to our office, I asked him to give you the most beautiful pendant (please see the picture), which is better than the beautiful gifts for the other ladies.
I believe the pendant will perfectly complement the dress I gave to you.

The "shikisi" was handwritten by me and is part of a hymn, not the Japanese anthem.
It is very difficult to translate Japanese into English.
This is an Advent song before Christmas.

I also gave Mr. Skočir another "shikisi" with the same song handwritten on it as the "shikisi" for you. Please see these photos.

When I was singleage, I used to play hymns on the church organ every Sunday service.
So the words and melody of the hymns have become my spiritual attire in my daily life.

Through God’s help and my efforts, I was able to uncover some irregularities in your company's operations. Smuggling and fraud are social evils, so please don’t hesitate and confide in us.
So we can be kind to each other.

My heart pendant is the Word of the Bible.
On this occasion I pray that the pendant I gave to you will shine with a renewed spirit for you.

Sincerely,
