Dear Jeff,  I hope this note finds you well.
I look forward to meeting you live soon.
Partha Ghosh and his team is working with your troops on a palatable offer to AT&T re your $650M network assets.
I think we are getting close to a construct Dave Dorman will consider.
Please don't read anything into the 2 postponed meeetings, they are very busy with Board related issues, being resolved soon.
On a separate matter, from time to time, I host dinners with various industry leaders to focus on major issues.
The next one is Monday July 23rd.
in Manhattan, 7PM.
In attendance will be:  Dr. Henry Kissinger (with whom ADVENTIS works closely) Dave Dorman, President, AT&T Gary Weis, President, Concert Micheal Sabia, President, Bell Canada Enterprises John Adams, CFO, AT&T 	and probably: Pierre Danon, President, BT Retail, Red Wilson, Chairman, Nortel  Jeff, would you like to join us ?
Please let me know.
