Letter to Michael Page International

We act as an Investment Manager for a number of commingled funds.  In acting for
our clients, we are given full discretion over the investment, and are empowered
to vote on their behalf.  However, we do not act as their Custodian, and
therefore shares are not held in our name, but in the nominee name of their
Custodian Bank.

Recent purchases/sales of shares in your company by ourselves, on behalf of our
clients, have resulted in our having control over the following shares (also see
attached):

SILCHESTER                     34,569,705

Our records show that you have the following shares in that class:

MICHAEL PAGE INTERNATIONAL    349,437,799
