Sir Gordon Radley,

The Chairman,

The Marconi Co. Ltd.,

English Electric House,

Strand, W.C.2.

Dear Sir Gordon,

I have hesitated a long time before writing to you without the knowledge of Mr. Burnett but I feel a final attempt should be made to resolve a difficult situation that has arisen over the past year or so.  I attempted to make an open approach through Group Personnel Services some weeks ago but I found the ground had been dug from beneath my feet before I arrived for interview.  If you feel I have written out of turn, please disregard this letter and I will take separate action.

My position at Marconi Instruments has become intolerable and my only course is to leave as soon as possible.  I would like to explore the possibility of remaining within the Marconi Group and am writing to ask if there is a suitable post available in the Marconi Company.

If there is any possibility of this, I should be very grateful if we could deal with the matter confidentially, without referring back to Marconi Instruments until details have been settled.  I very much regret having to ask this but present circumstances make this the best course.

Yours sincerely

H V Beck
