Dear Mr Blake;

This letter serves as official confirmation that. 1. .........................

As you know, either party can opt out of our employment agreement provided that a month's notice is given. 2. .........................

Furthermore, I understand from Paul Bascombe that with the departure of myself and Mr English, Mr Barwell has decided to take early retirement, and 4. .......................... Therefore the clause which specifies that I am not to enter a business which directly competes with Biscuit Investments does not apply.

In the light of the unpleasant scene which ensued when news of my intended departure became known, I do not intend to return to the company to clear my desk, and 5. ..........................

Since I do not forsee the need for any further personal communication between us, 6. ......................... .

Yours truly

Sally Dodd
