＜例　1＞
Dear　 Mayor and Council Members of Brookhaven:

I am against the comfort women monument in Brookhaven.
Currently there is only one comfort women statue in public property outside of Korea. That is in Glendale, CA, USA. Its plaque inscribes “I was a sex slave of Japanese military.”
A group of Japanese Americans filed a lawsuit to remove the statue. In February, 2017, the Japanese government summited amicus curie in support of the petitioners to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Please read it at http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/000231732.pdf .

The “Comfort Women Issue” is not simply human right issue, but is politically and diplomatically controversial and complicated issue between Korea and Japan.
The peaceful city of Brookhaven should not be involved in such issue by erecting memorial.

Japanese are very upset about the statue in Glendale. Brookhaven should not be the next one.

Sincerely,

日本語要約：市長市議の皆様へ。ブルックヘブンの慰安婦碑に反対します。現在韓国外の公共地にある慰安婦像はひとつだけです。それは米国加州グレンデールにある像です。碑文には「私は性奴隷でした」と書いてあります。
日系人グループがこの像の撤去を求めて訴えました。２０１７年２月、日本政府が原告を支持する意見書を米国最高裁に出しました。是非読んでください。慰安婦問題は単なる人権問題ではなく、政治・外交的に論争となっている複雑な問題です。平和なブルックヘブンがそのような問題に関わるべきではありません。日本人はグレンデールの像に対して非常に怒っています。ブルックヘブンが次にそうなってはなりません。

Dear　 Mayor and Council Members of Brookhaven:

I am against the comfort women monument in Brookhaven.
You must understand that the comfort women issue is politically and diplomatically controversial issue.
The Japanese government once recalled her ambassador and Council General to Pusan to home, and terminated or postponed negotiations with the government of South Korea. This decision took place in response to Korea’s decision to install a Comfort Women statue in Public place in Pusan, the second largest city in S. Korea.

The peaceful city of Brookhaven should not be involved in such issue by erecting memorial of one-sided allegations.

Dear　 Mayor and Council Members of Brookhaven:

I am against the comfort women monument in Brookhaven.
It is very upsetting to know that you plan to erect the comfort women monument in the public property.
The inscriptions of the memorial often depicts “Comfort Women” as “hundreds of thousands of women and girls who were abducted and coerced into sexual slavery by Japanese military during WW2.” What are the evidence or primary source to proof these allegations?
The government of Japan officially denies above at UN human rights committees, stating “the figure ‘200,000 persons’ as the number of comfort women also lacks concrete evidence”, “the expression ‘sex slaves’ contradicts the facts” and “there are one-sided claims which lack any corroborative evidence in the reports by the United Nations Special Rapporteurs as well as in the criticisms and recommendations from treaty bodies”.

http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/000087944.pdf (page11 Paragraph 19)

I believe the monument will divide your multi-cultural good communities. And also it will drive a wedge among US, South Korea, and Japan alliance, and that will only make Communist China and North Korea happy.

日本語要約：市長市議の皆様へ。慰安婦碑に反対です。碑文にはよく「慰安婦とは戦時中に日本軍に拉致され性奴隷にされた数十万の婦女子」と書かれています。この主張の根拠、一時資料は何でしょうか？日本政府は国連人権委員会で「20万の根拠はない」、「性奴隷の事実に反する」、「国連の報告や勧告は一方的で根拠に欠ける」と公式に表明しています。碑は、多文化の良きコミュニティーを分断することになるでしょう。また米・韓・日の同盟を分断するもので、これを喜ぶのは中国共産党と北朝鮮だけです。

Dear　 Mayor and Council Members of Brookhaven:

I am writing to you concerning a memorial for “comfort women” in Brookhaven. I would ask that you turn down the plan.
The proposer has been insisting that this is a human rights issue. It may be true. But, instead of blaming only Japan, it is more appropriate to address all major human rights issues in the world and learn from the cases to solve them and prevent from happening again.
I am strongly against the installation of memorial of Comfort women in Brookhaven.
Thank you very much.

Dear　 Mayor and Council Members of Brookhaven:

I am writing to you concerning  a memorial for “comfort women” in Brookhaven. I would ask that you turn down the plan.
Chinese and Korean interest has been waging a concerted anti-Japan/Japanese movements all over the United States. The “hate Japan” education in their homeland has been promoting the atmosphere even in the U.S. more than 70 years after the last war. We should work toward the future for the benefits of the younger generations in a more constructive way rather than destructively.
I am strongly against the installation of memorial of Comfort women in Brookhaven.
Thank you very much.

Japanese people are strongly opposed to the comfort woman memorial because it will create a conflict among people, leading to hate crime and children bullying not only in your city but also elsewhere. I hear there is such a case in Glendale, New York, New Jersey and even in Australia.
I am strongly against the installation of memorial of Comfort women in a park in Brookhaven.
Thank you very much.

Dear　Mayor and Council Members of Brookhaven:

I strongly protest against the “Comfort Women” monument in Brookhaven.
Before you will place the proposed comfort women memorial in the public property, you must know about the comfort women for American GIs after the WW2.
In Japan, soon after WW2 in 1945, the brothels, or RAA (Recreation and Amusement Association), were set up for U.S. servicemen pouring into Japan and hired more than 50,000 Japanese prostitutes. South Korea had a similar comfort station system for U.S.-led U.N. troops during the 1950-1953 Korean War and promoted sex businesses for American troops after the war.
Please understand that Japanese are very upset about the “comfort women” statues, because they single out only Japanese military. That is unfair and is nothing but an insult to Japanese.
