CHANGED

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 of investors who have come together to pursue several

oil 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.

Dick Boyce-

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 oil and 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.

let me know what your schedule is looking like.

6. Andy Harvey

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.

7. Nigel Kempner

Nigel-

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 an initial set of properties with which to begin our acquisitions.

I'm planning to come through London in the next couple of months. I'd like to talk before

my trip out there and coordinate our schedules so that we'll have a chance to get together

and discuss these projects; I'd also be interested to hear about what you have in the

works these days.

on your end.

investment banking firm Excellere.

Let's figure out a time to meet and discuss this further, and let me know if you'd like me

to forward you some materials in the meantime. I'd also like to talk to you a bit more

about the missionary work you've been doing; I'd be interested in eventually meeting with

the folks you've been working with on that. Call or shoot me an e-mail when you a have

chance.

This is Steve Bargo; apologies for being out of touch for so long. I just shot an e-mail

over to Stephen and wanted to check in with you as well, as I'd like for us to get

together and discuss some projects we're working on. Let me know when would be a good time

for a meeting.

10. Robert Ferrante - Californian, said can raise billions

Hi, Robert-

This is Steve Bargo. You may recall that we met in Costa Mesa a while back, where we

discussed some of the projects for which you've been raising money over the past couple of

years.

I wanted to follow up with you on the real estate fund I've been putting together under

the aegis of my investment banking firm Excellere; since our last conversation, we've

identified an initial set of properties with which to begin our acquisitions. I'd like to

go over the list with you, as well as to show you what we've been doing with a separate

oil and gas fund I've been setting up since we last met.

I'm planning a trip out to California in about a month. Let's set up a time to meet and

discuss how we could get you involved in these projects, as well as whatever deals you're

working on at the moment.

11. Wayne Booth

Hi, Wayne-

This is Steve Bargo; we met through Abram Janz at Petro Grande a while back.

I wanted to follow up with you on the oil and gas deals you mentioned to me during our

earlier conversation. I'd also like to discuss with you a similar deal we've been putting

together on our end by which we're pursuing production lines amid several promising sites

in the region. Shoot me an e-mail or give me a call when you get a moment so we can set up

a time to meet and discuss these projects further.

12.

Howdy, Jonathan-

Steve Bargo here. Long time no talk; I think it's been about two years since we were last

in touch. Hope everything is well with you.

I'm planning to come up to New York in the next month or so and wanted to see if you'll be

in town so that we can meet and discuss a couple of projects that I have in the works. I'm

about to launch a real estate fund under my investment banking firm Excellere; we've

identified an initial set of properties with which to begin our acquisitions, and we're

looking for others with which to supplement our planned expansion. I imagine you might

know of some additional properties in your region that might be good candidates for us to

acquire going forward. Meanwhile, I've also been setting an oil and gas fund in

conjunction with some investors here in Texas that might be of interest to you.

Get back to me when you have a moment so that we can set up a time to get together and

talk a bit more about these projects; I'd also be interested in hearing about what you've

got in the works on your end.

13.

Hi, Levente-

Steve Bargo here. Sorry for the delay in touching base with you; hope everything is well

on your end.

I wanted to follow up with you on our previous conversations regarding us working together

on some deals. I'd like to learn a bit more on what you're doing these days, and I'd also

like to show you a couple of projects that I'm setting up down here which I think would

interest you.

I'm planning to come up to New York in the next month, so let's set up a time to meet and

discuss how we can move forward on some of this. Shoot me an e-mail or give me a call when

you have a free moment.
