This film was made by two soon-to-be House Physicians, Dr Leszek Golicz and Dr Geoffrey Daw, as a Concept Proposal for the Sidcup & Swanley Group Hospital Management Committee for possible use in Nurse Recruitment by the regional branch of the NHS. Dr Golicz was the cameraman, shooting six reels of 50ft Kodak 16mm b&w film using a Bell & Howell 70 triple-lens clockwork motion picture camera. Dr Daw was responsible for the direction and script. Although the film was silent, an accompanying script was printed and read before an audience, synchronised with the on-screen images.

Drs Golicz and Daw were paid £75 for the proposal, paid by the Regional Hospital Board who acquired the film, which had been edited down to the 17 minutes seen here from a copy made from the 30-minute Master (still in family possession). The quality at this stage was unimportant, and a finer edit would have been made had the proposal been accepted. However, the Board met, voted, and rejected the official use of "A Letter to Ann", returning it to Dr Golicz.
