The purpose of the letter is to inform you that the Company is investigating a suspected incident, informing you that your name and address have been supplied as the person involved, that the Company has reason to suspect that an Offence may have been committed during that incident, and, among other purposes, it gives you an opportunity to provide another written Statement and to consider seeking your own legal assistance.
Many people reply to letters like that to show how they didn't intend to do anything illegal but at the same time they often admit to more than necessary, which can put them in an even worse position than they were in.
People have often made offers to settle a dispute by phone, but its unlikely to be considered before the written Statement is received - they simply don't have enough information to make an informed decision. It would also be difficult to make that phone call without making more of an admission of guilt. I don't advise making a phone call at this stage, making a written Statement is the correct thing to do at present and I will be in touch again soon about this.
