Hi, John-

This is Steve Bargo; we met about a month ago at the offices of Petro Grande here in Dallas. 

I wanted to follow up with you regarding the oil and gas fund for which you've been raising money. I believe I mentioned to 

you that I've been doing something similar with my own oil and gas fund, which itself is operated under my investment banking 

firm Excellere. I'm currently working with a group investors who have come together to pursue several natural gas 

opportunities here in the region. The sites that we've been developing possess exceptional proven and potential reserves, and 

the deal itself provides for a heavily expansive production schedule with a somewhat lower degree of significant risk than 

one tends to see in the current market.

Please let me know when would be a good time for us to meet and discuss this in greater detail; I'd also like to learn more 

about the deals on which you're currently working.

Hi, Dick-

Steve Bargo here; we met last month at the Petro Grande offices. Hope all is well.

I've just shot off an e-mail to John Silvestri regarding one particuar oil and gas deal I've been working on in connection 

with my energy fund, and I wanted to touch base with you as well. Let's figure out a time to meet in the near future, as I'd 

like to talk to you about coming on as a consultant and would also be interested in taking a look at your own projects as 

well.

Hi, David-

It's Steve Bargo. I apologize for not having been in touch; I was gearing up for cancer surgery when we last spoke, but 

thankfully I'm back in action these days. I'm sorry we weren't able to go forward with the project, though I imagine you've 

had plenty to do in the meantime.

Lately I've been engaged in setting up an oil and gas fund under the aegis of my investment banking firm Excellere. One of 

the companies I've been working closely with on this, S.K. Oil & Gas, has partnered with some other investors here in Texas 

to pursue several natural gas opportunities here in the region. The sites we've been developing possess exceptional proven 

and potential reserves, and the deal itself provides for a heavily expansive production schedule with a somewhat lower degree 

of significant risk than one tends to find among similar projects. Incidentally, S.K. maintains an office in Beijing to 

facilitate the raising of funds in China as well as the CEO's various other projects in the region.

I'd like to have you sit down with the CEO, Dennis Head, at some point in the near future so that we can discusss the 

possibility of a complementary partnership on this project. Get in touch when you have a moment and let's discuss a time and 

location.

Hi, Lou-

Steve Bargo here. Hope everything is well on your end.

I wanted to check with you to see if you might have a free afternoon coming up; I'd like to meet with you regarding some 

projects I've been pursuing lately and to hear what you've been up to since we llast spoke. If so, please drop me a line when 

you have a moment.

Andy-

Steve Bargo here; hope everything is well on your end.

I believe that William Karrington has told you a bit about the oil and gas fund that we've been putting together with a group 

of investors in conjunction with Excellere, and I wanted to get together with you to talk further about getting you involved. 

When you have a moment, let me know what might be a good time to meet.

Niger-

This is Steve Bargo out of Dallas; we met in London about a year ago through Tony Canning. I had intended to get in touch 

sooner, but unfortunately I made the mistake of getting cancer. Thankfully, though, I'm back in action now.

I mentioned to you a while back that I'd been setting up a real estate fund under the aegis of Excellere, my investment 

banking firm. We're now preparing to move forward with that, having identified a bit over $200 million in properties for 

acquisition. At the same time, I've been preparing an oil and gas fund in conjunction with a group of investors in Texas and 

elsewhere which we'll be launching in the coming months as well.

I'm planning to come through London in the next couple of months. Get in touch with me when you have a moment so that we can 

set up a time to meet and discuss these projects; I'd also like to hear about what you have in the works these days.
