Hi Everyone,

1. I'd like to compliment everyone for the excellent posts over the last number of days.

2. I note that everybody agrees that Jurek's posts are excellent with regard to the financials of Connacher.

3. I live in Sherwood Park. There have been about 7 or 8 upgraders announced for our area to support the oil sands.

4. All but 1 or 2 have been delayed or put on hold for various reasons.

5. Therefore, it is a good idea for Connacher to ensure that it has a refining capacity for its bitumen (as a last resort).

6. The senior management and Board of Directors of Connacher are extremely well thought of in Alberta and the Board of Directors, I understand, meets regularly with excellent attendance.

7. The guidance that this Board can offer to Connacher is probably second to none in the Province.

8. Though I don't know the members personally, I do know other people who know them and have offered opinions as to their competence.

9. It's my feeling that Connacher will be extremely successful in how it runs its affairs because of the excellent oil people who are advising the company.

10. Quite frankly, I think many of you can relax. If you need a forecast, listen to Jurek, and if you have any concerns about execution, then give yourself a break and if possible, don't worry about things.

11. Algar will be announced shortly, etc.

Best Wishes,

Lynn
