As the Partner who wrote the letter has resigned (check whether he had submitted the resigantion letter to the Firm) his signature is not necessary. The reference is only to indicate the circumstance in which the earlier Frim got dissolved, necessitating the reconstitution of the Firm. Get the new firm registered with the Registrar of Firms in order to escape the restrictions imposed in the Partnership Act in the matter of filing suits aginst third parties who commit breach of contracts made with the Firm etc.
