confirmation of WV gas

John,

I still have not received written confirmation that the gas being supplied to the Trust is 100% West Virginia Production. You have assured me verbally that such is the case. However, I am sure that you understand that it is not the least bit unreasonable to have such a certification in writing. I need such a written certification ASAP since Mountaineer/Allegheny needs proof in order to provide the WV transportation rate.

Please fax me such a certification today if at all possible. If that is not possible, please send me an email stating that such a certification will be signed in the next day or two.

I am attaching the memo that I faxed and emailed to you about a week ago that I thought would facilitate getting the certification ASAP.

Thanks very much and regards,

Dick Bryan
