Exhibit 99.2

Dear Richardson Team,

I am very excited to announce that last night we signed a Definitive Agreement to sell RFPD to Arrow Electronics, Inc. This is an amazing opportunity for the RFPD team and provides an excellent return on our investment in RFPD. This transaction ensures that RFPD will be aligned with an organization that is well positioned to accelerate its growth and enable it to gain market share in the RF, wireless and power conversion markets.

RFPD will be a separate operating unit of Arrow Electronics, Inc. so it can continue its successful practice of bringing focus and high value to both suppliers and customers. Its headquarters will remain in LaFox, Illinois. EDG and Canvys will remain divisions of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. which will continue to be a publicly traded company.

The transaction is subject to approval by Richardson Electronics’ shareholders as well as customary regulatory approvals. Our target date for closing is early 2011.

There are many details to be worked out prior to close. Our decisions will be based on the need to keep the operations of both businesses running as efficiently as ever while providing a seamless transition to our customers and suppliers. It is “business as usual” until further notice. Arrow should still be treated as a competitor, and all customer and supplier information will and must be kept separate and confidential until the closing of the transaction.

As significant business decisions are made, we will keep you informed. We will be establishing a dedicated link on the Richardson Intranet site entitled “Transition Times” to communicate updates as they become available. We know you will have many questions in the weeks ahead. Please submit them to your supervisor and we will do our best to get you answers as quickly as possible.

I am very proud of Greg Peloquin and the entire RFPD team, and I remain confident about the future of Richardson Electronics. Thank you in advance for your commitment to the continued success of RFPD, Canvys and EDG.

All the best,

Edward J. Richardson

Chairman of the Board and CEO

Richardson Electronics, Ltd.
