INVITATION TO SPEAK




GARP 2001


The 2nd Annual Risk Management Convention


13(superscript: th) & 14(superscript: th) February, 2001 ? Marriott World
Trade Center, New York


Dear Kaminski

Further to my telephone conversation today with your secretary, Shirley
Crenshaw, and on behalf of the Global Association of Risk Professionals, I
have great pleasure in inviting you to speak at our 2(superscript: nd)
Annual Risk Management Convention ? GARP 2001.

This event has rapidly establishing itself as the risk management
industry's most important meeting point. GARP 2000 reflected the key
concerns of risk management experts world-wide, with over 400 attendees in
its first year. Three simultaneous streams address traditional pricing and
risk management techniques, along with specialised streams addressing new
sectors, such as the corporate world and the insurance industry. With a
speaker panel of over 55 senior and executive financial professionals from
investment banks, regulatory bodies, asset management firms, academics,
insurers/re-insurers, corporate and system providers this is THE financial
risk management event of the year.

Key areas that this Convention will consider include Market Risk (stress
testing, liquidity, jump diffusion, EVT), Credit Risk (regulation,
modeling, stress testing, credit portfolio management, credit
derivatives), Operational Risk, (regulation, data, modeling, validation,
EVT) Advanced Asset & Liability Management, Corporate/Energy Risk
Management and the Insurance & Capital Markets.

From my research and discussions with experts in this arena your name was
highly recommended as a speaker for this event. Below is the stream on
Corporate / Energy Risk Management and I had in mind ONE of the sessions
below for you. Also, the topic titles are provisional and I am open to
suggested alterations.


Corporate/Energy Risk Management


Modelling Corporate Risk ? Risk Management from a Shareholder Value
Perspective

Measuring Energy Risk ? Tackling Price Volatility, Adapting VaR,
Scenario Modelling and Regulatory Requirements

Forward Pricing ? Construction of the Forward Curve, Correlations,
Transparency Issues

The Volatility Challenge ? Modelling Price Volatility and Examining the
New Products Designed to Stabilise Volatility

Energy Credit Risk Management
