10th June, 1998 ending on 10th May, 1999 under a guarantee dated
6th March, 1998. The appellant gave the guarantee followed by an
undated condition precedent for the payment of the money. Both
documents are brief. I should reproduce them beginning with the
letter of guarantee (Exh. Pi) which reads as follows—
