Jodie Fisher, the woman that started Hurd's ouster from HP IMDB The letter that led to Mark Hurd ultimately being forced out of HP is finally going to see the light of day, Arik Hesseldahl at All Things D reports.

Exactly what was in that letter has never been known. We heard from a source that it will "burn your eyeballs." We also heard from a different source that it's pretty boring. Guess we'll find out who is right soon enough!

Hurd has been fighting in court to keep the letter private for months.

In the decision to make the letter public the court wrote, "although the letter goes into embarrassing detail about Hurd’s behavior, it does not describe any intimate conversations or conduct." It also says most of the details in the letter are already known from various media reports.

If you need a refresher, on June 24, 2010, Gloria Allred sent a letter to HP's board of directors accusing Hurd of inappropriate conduct with an HP contractor. When HP's board investigated the claims made by Allred it lost faith in Hurd, and fired him.

After HP fired Hurd, it went into a serious tailspin. It hired Leo Apotheker, and then fired him after less than a year. It thought about selling its PC business, but then decided against it. It released a tablet computer running its own operating system then canned it after a few weeks.

Meg Whitman took over the reigns and seems to be getting the company organized again.

There's no word on when the letter will officially become public.

Here's the court's decision via All Things D:
