Good Morning Elliott,

I do not intend to enter in pre-interview protected correspondence regarding advance disclosure
which I am under no legal obligation to provide and is provided on this occasion out of courtesy
in order that you can have a high level understanding of the topics we wish to cover, which are
set out in the letter from Mr Bartlett. Further detail regarding POL’s concerns will be provided
during the interview.

lam seeking in advance of the interview your agreement to the recording of the interview which
of course will provide the most accurate record, enables a more natural conversation and is less
time consuming than the alternative and therefore, has to be in the best interests of all
concerned. If you agree to the recording then you will be provided with a copy of the recording
post interview (we will need sometime to make a copy of the recording and this will be forward
to you as soon as practically possible). If you are not in agreement to the recording of the
interview then we will have to revert to contemporaneous notes, which are very time consuming
and with the best will in the world provide a less accurate record. You should be advised that if
you elect to go down the contemporaneous notes route then we will have to extend the length
of the interview considerably and based upon my experience of such interviews I think it would
be wise to allow 6 hours for the interview.

Your sincerely

Andy Morley

Good morning Andy,

I will await your proper and fully disclosures and will then take the matter under advisement.

In addition, you have provided a highlight section of board minutes - can you please specify the
accusation being made for the avoidance of doubt and the evidence on which you are relying in

this regard?

Furthermore, who within or outside the post office has been provided with knowledge of this
