Mr. Seo Myung Seok, President of IBC Seoul Club
Dear Mr Seo Myung Seok,
I have received your e-mail. Thank you. I shall explain and convey your
kind congratulation to our 60th Anniversary Celebration to our members in the club.
I and our members will fully realize the difficulties in the members of your club
preventing from coming to Taipei to join to celebrate together with our members.
I remember that the ten years ago, Seoul Club has almost 10 members come to Taipei to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. I was the club president and I hired a lady who could speak Korean and Mandarin making translation during the celebration and the banquet.
May I take this opportunity asking your Club president writing and send us a
congratulatory letter that we want to put it in our 60th year Anniversary special issue.
Our club members would appreciate if you could arrange sending the letter at an earlier date. It is not that much time available before printing the issue, preferably before the 10th of Feb. Thank you.
Could you make a briefing about Seoul Club, numbers of member, member's occupations, distributions of the member's age and etc.
We have 26 members. except five of the age being 80 to 85 and two in the age of 72 and 76, the rest are 45 to 66. We are going to have two to four young persons will join as new members. The occupations of our member are small and medium size business men, manufacturers, bank, finance,and insurance, retired engineer, university teachers, retired Constitution Judge, doctor and etc. Most of our members are well educated.
It is regretful to learn that Mr. Choi Yong Il men passed away. Please convey our sorrow to his family on our behalf.
I sincerely hope from now on the two clubs should keep more often for exchanging the news of the club activity, otherwise the distance between the two clubs seems far away.
Finally, I want thank you again for your kind response.
Lin, ta-tung
IBC Director.

Dear Lin, Ta-tung IBC Director
I’m Seo Myung Seok, the president of IBC Seoul Club.
I’ve got your mail that you sent to Choi Jong Sang few weeks ago. I read your mail very carefully with joy. At first, congratulations on Chinese Taipei IBC 60th Anniversary with all my heart. Thanks to you, we all Seoul members became to know about your anniversary event.
After the late February, we Seoul Club members had meetings and discussed about our participation to your country. But our daily works are all different and we have lots of difficulties to fit our time. So we made our conclusion that we don’t participate your anniversary invitation. I’m in official position so it’s hard for me to take time off for a few days. I beg your understand. We’re sorry anybody of Seoul Club members does not compete your invitation.
Mr, Choi Yong Il men, who had a good relationship with Chinese Taipei, had passed away 4 years ago, so your mail was not conveyed properly. From now on, you can send mails to Mr. Choi Jong Sang or to me anytime you want to.
Congratulations again and I wish you understand our Seoul Club members absence. Forgive our late response.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Seo Myung Seok
President of IBC Seoul Club
