In pursuit of the meeting held because of the award with a Slovak Order of Merit, I send a list for the pleasant removal, which is prepared according to the oral instructions of #-Group leader Prank. Group leader Frank has asked you to obtain the approval of M-Obergruppenführer Heydrich, and he also points out that publisher manager Friedrich Rudl, born on 28.2.02 in Prague, had also been proposed for the award with a Slovak Order of Merit. Group leader Frank does not support this proposal at the moment, but makes it possible for you to make the decision of Obergruppenführer Heydrich, whether publisher manager Rudl should be taken into account. Heil Hitler!
