a letter to Alan Turing

Dear Mr. Alan Turing,

The British government is requesting your presence at Bletchley Park immediately. We have decided that decoding the Nazi German machine - Enigma - is of top importance for the Allies. As you know, Enigma encrypts, or encodes, all Nazi communication so we cannot read it - giving them an enormous advantage. We must decode their messages if we have any hope in winning this war.

Mr. Turing, welcome to Bletchley Park

Welcome
