Rolls-Royce—regrets from Singapore

Sir,

I have just been informed that Rolls-Royce have declared themselves bankrupt. None of the people I know or friends (and workmates) out here are motoring enthusiasts, and they do not claim to be, but every one of us were deeply shocked when we heard the news.

I am speaking for six of us and, although we are not very good at spelling, at least we know the best magazine to write to over this disaster. We are writing to you to see if it is true, or otherwise, what could cause such a downfall of this great company?

Alan Reeves.
