Dear all

Ahead of our call on Thursday, please see email below and attached copy of the Voice of the Postmaster
Press Release for January, together with a letter addressed to me.

In addition, please see attached a file note I prepared following my conversation with Saf and Elliot on
Sunday — they have agreed last night that I could share with you. They were very supportive of Nick, but
you will see that the VOP have made negative statements about Nick .

Let's talk about this on Thursday and to note I have not yet responded to VoP regarding their request for a
meeting.

Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry
This echoes very much the comments that we discussed on Sunday - clearly we are not losing the
plot and real action is essential.
