The following is a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Emperor Hirohito:
Almost a century ago the President of the United States addressed to the Emperor of Japan a message extending an offer of friendship of the people of the United States to the people of Japan. That offer was accepted, and in the long period of unbroken peace and friendship which has followed, our respective Nations, through the virtues of their peoples and the wisdom of their rulers, have prospered and have substantially helped humanity.
Only in situations of extraordinary importance to our two countries need I address to Your Majesty messages on matters of state. I feel I should now so address you because of the deep and far-reaching emergency which appears to be in formation.

Thank you my friend PO1 William "Chip" Nagel for posting the letter that president FDR sent to Emperor of Japan Hirohito the day before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. By that point it no doubt fell on deaf ears since the attack had been planned and was on the way to be executed with listening silence activated, no doubt.
