I have received the key of the bonnet of Car No.. H6 PR
I have read CJ's memorandum of the 21st. Jan. and realise that under no circumstances whatever must I open the bonnet in the face of any person, no matter whether that person may be my closest friend or relation.
I realise that I am entrusted with secret knowledge of a very precious nature and that by disclosing the secret I may be doing vast financial harm to the shareholders and to my colleagues. I will not part with the key unless I receive a receipt similarly worded to the one which I now sign from the person to whom I entrust it.
