                <p>The executive secretary is instructed to advise you that, at a meeting of the board of directors held today, your resignation as a member of this Chamber was submitted and accepted with regret.</p>

                <p>We are hoping that your withdrawal may be only a temporary one, and we trust you will return to the organization as an active member in the very near future.</p>

            <closer>
                <salute>Very truly yours,</salute>
