The petition for leave to appeal is allowed. In the exercise of this court's supervisory jurisdiction, this court holds that the following letter from the petitioner to the trial judge sufficiently complied with Rule 604(d) (87 Ill.2d R. 604(d)):
"I wish to appeal my case, on the grounds of inadequate defence[sic] by my attorney. I was psychologicly [sic] coherced[sic] into pleading guilty. I would also like to have the court appoint me another attorney. Thank you."


Accordingly, the judgment of the Appellate Court, Fifth District, is vacated, and this cause is remanded to that court for consideration of the issues presented on appeal.
