Letter to Private Eye
From Goodman Derrick & Co., solicitors:
We act for Mr Arkell who is Retail Credit Manager of Granada TV Rental Ltd. His attention has been drawn to an article appearing in the issue of Private Eye dated 9th April 1971 on page 4. The statements made about Mr Arkell are entirely untrue and clearly highly defamatory. We are therefore instructed to require from you immediately your proposals for dealing with the matter.

His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.
Response from Private Eye
We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell.
