Email sent on 16 July 2007 to Royal Dutch Shell Plc Company Secretary & Corporate Counsel, Michiel Brandjes. (Copied to Jeroen van der Veer, Jorma Ollila, Malcolm Brinded, John Hofmeister and Basil Omiyi, Country Chairman, Shell Nigeria)
Dear Mr Brandjes
Printed below is the revised draft letter/article relating to Shell activities in Nigeria. We note from Shell internal correspondence the accusation that we put unreasonable time limits when putting forward articles for comment. In fact we happily gave more time when requested in the particular instance mentioned.
