Dear Mr Bates
Re: Aged Shortage - Horizon Case Write-Off

“an essential part of everyday life”
OFFICE: Craig-Y-Don SPSO OFFICE CODE: 461 614

First of all I would like to apologise for the length of time it has taken to
resolve this matter. It has been necessary to formulate a consistent
approach for all such cases.

Post Office Ltd has received from you a short report setting out your
reasons why you do not accept liability for the shortage of £1,041.86p
at your post office.

After due consideration of the facts surrounding the loss and of your
report, Post Office Ltd has decided to take no further action in respect
of the loss at your post office which will be written off. This decision has
been made without prejudice to Post Office Ltd's rights to recover any
future losses at your post office for which you may be liable under the
contract for services and does not affect any future liability you may
have for such losses.

To enable me to monitor progress for all such losses could you please
complete the section on the next page. Once the loss for £1,041.86p
has been cleared from your suspense account, you must return the
whole letter to me in the self addressed envelope provided. (A copy of
this letter is enclosed, for retention at your office).

If I do not receive a reply from you by 22 March 2002 then it will be
necessary for me to contact you to ascertain what the delay is.
