Dear Mr Van der Veer
Reference my email of 26 Sept: Email to Jeroen van der Veer: the Sakhalin II crisis
Bloomberg have been in contact with me overnight kindly providing the precise calculation for the Sakhalin II $22 billion project cost (which they have cited again in an article published today). In other words, it was not an error, but a deliberate step up in the figure quoted: a Bloomberg article on 24 September was still quoting the $20 billion figure.
Confusion reigns…
A Wall Street Journal report this morning is still using the $20 billion sum.
Bloomberg insists that the correct figure is $22 billion.
As we have previously pointed out to you, a figure of $25 billion was mentioned in The Observer article on Sunday.
Until such time as Shell clears up the confusion over this hugely important issue, we stick by our figure of $26 billion, which is based on information from usually reliable Shell insider sources.
Given the gravity of the current crisis, it really is imperative that the confusion is ended.
What is the current highest projected Sakhalin II project cost stated in Shell internal documents?
The answer will be of considerable interest to your project partners, shareholders, employees and the Russian government.
The stability and reputation of Royal Dutch Shell is at stake if the truth is being deliberately withheld at this crucial time.
Yours sincerely
John Donovan

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
