FROM SHELL INTERNATIONAL LTD GENERAL COUNSEL, RICHARD WISEMAN

28 April 2004

Dear Mr. Donovan,

I should of course be used to your selective quotations, but I really cannot let your current misrepresentation stand.  I specifically said that you should not take my acquiescence as agreement, but this is just what you have done.  Please explain, that while I suggested one change, I did not by doing so endorse the rest of your release.

I am not here to provide exhaustive legal advice to you on your press statements; you issue them at your own legal risk.

Richard Wiseman
