To the Exhibitors and Visitors at OGU,

It gives me great pleasure to thank you sincerely on behalf of Uzbekneftegaz for your cooperation in Uzbekistan's oil and gas industry.

We value our relationship with the ITE Group which has built up since the launch of the first Oil and Gas Uzbekistan exhibition and conference (OGU) in 1997.

This letter confirms our commitment to working with the ITE Group to produce regular OGU exhibitions over the coming years. The 13 th edition of the OGU exhibition will take place on 12-14 May 2009. Alongside the exhibition, the OGU Conference, entitled ‘International cooperation – guarantee of dynamic development of the oil and gas sector of Uzbekistan' will take place on 13-14 May 2009.

We would like to request the start of the OGU 2009 promotional campaign aimed at foreign oil, gas, engineering and consulting companies, as well as international financial institutions, to ensure large-scale participation in the event.

Yours sincerely,

Sh. Majitov
