LETTER TO MICHAEL PAGE INTERNATIONAL DATED 21ST DECEMBER 2005

We act as an Investment Manager for a number of commingled funds.  In acting
for our Clients, we are given full discretion over their investments, 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                                                         29,764,705

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

MICHAEL PAGE INTERNATIONAL                                        332,637,799

For your information, we exercise control over 8.95% of the shares of that class
and of that, one of our clients controls 5.76%.  This interest is notified
under Section 198 of the Companies Act 1985.
