Judge Orders HP to Release Letter That Triggered Hurd039s Exit

The controversial letter that marked the beginning of the end for Mark Hurd's five-year reign as Hewlett-Packard's CEO is about to be made public.

The public release of the missive accusing Hurd of sexual harassment was ordered late Thursday by Delaware Chancery Judge Donald Parsons in a shareholder lawsuit against HP .The letter accused Hurd of sexually harassing former HP contractor Jodie Fisher and was sent on Fisher's behalf by her lawyer Gloria Allred. While an internal probe did not find Hurd guilty of sexual harassment, it did unearth numerous instances where received compensation and/or expense reimbursement where there was not a legitimate business purpose, as well as numerous instances where inaccurate expense reports were submitted by Mark.� Hurd resigned as a result on August 6, 2010.
