***** Following the acquisition of FT Energy by Platts in September 2001, Platts began integrating all of its web sites and web services.  Effective Jan 16, this e-mail service will be folded into the free "Platts Energy Bulletin" e-mail, bringing you daily news updates and information about the global Energy Markets. Your name will automatically be moved onto the list for Energy Bulletin, you do not need to contact us. If you decide that you no longer want to receive a daily e-mail, you can unsubscribe at any time. Instructions are included at the bottom of the Energy Bulletin.  Customers who have access to Platts Energy Insight as part of their Platts/RDI package, and those who have a paid subscription to the site, will continue to be able to access the Platts Energy Insight site as part of a premium level service, using their existing login. We hope you will enjoy the new site. *****  [IMAGE]
