Dear Stephen,

Congratulations!

I am pleased to inform you that you have won a Manufacturing Executive Vice President’s (EVP) Award in the Special category for your accomplishments for Pioneering Near-Infrared Technology for Mogas Product Quality Release, along with your colleagues:

· Brandy Brandares
· Ellen De la Fuente
· Luie DelosReyes
· Roland Guieb

I was very impressed by the quality of the many entries, which demonstrated genuine innovation and determination to deliver “best in class” performance in Manufacturing. Your nomination was exceptional. For me it is the sort of achievement that will enable us to become the global pacesetter in Manufacturing.

I am pleased therefore to invite a representative of your team to the EVP Awards Ceremony to receive the award on behalf of the team at the Manufacturing Leadership Forum in Singapore on November 8, 2005. Additionally, the EVP Award includes a company paid weekend trip for each team member. Details are attached.

In conclusion, I would like to thank you personally for your achievement and express my appreciation for the part you have played in contributing to the success of Manufacturing and Downstream.

I look forward to personally presenting the award to your team in Singapore.


Yours sincerely,

(sgd) Lynn Laverty Elsenhans
Executive Vice President
Global Manufacturing
