distributor, OPET. The information contained in OPET.doc is to be included as

neither a stand alone document nor a press release.

The attached info sheet will be translated into Turkish and will be included

include some Turkish media) at an official cocktail party this Wednesday, 
Feb. 7, in Istanbul. The reception will be attended by two senior members of 
our commercial team.

We are routing this information as an FYI in the event that the reception
