The substance of the note then follows, and the document terminates with a formula on the following lines: The Embassy takes (or avails itself of) this opportunity of assuring the Ministry of its highest consideration ... In some countries (e.g. the United States of America) this final courtesy is omitted. 1, record 1, English, - official%20note
