Total International Ltd.

Paul,

I have a trader that is trying to trade financially with Total International
Ltd., but we have asked that he not until we can sort our some eligibility
issues. Prior to speaking with Ben Hamida at Total last week, we had never
approached them for financial statements or a guaranty that would establish
them as elibible contract parties. I noticed that we have significant
financial trading with them in London. How have you established eligibilty?
My trader is asking, since he cannot trade under ENA with Total, if he can
sleave deals through London.

Any ideas or insight would be helpful.

thanks
brant
