PLEASE INFORM ANYONE AND EVERYONE TODAY WHO LIVES IN THE AREAS INVOLVED! Primarily Riverside/Beach - 820 and
Hwy 30 to Meadowbrook/Lancaster

The following letter is from the President of Brentwood Oak-Hills N/A and the Greater Meadowbrook Mineral Leasing Task Force negotiating team:

This afternoon, Friday, Jan. 11, we sent 29 letters to gas companies via FedEx plus 18 more letters via U. S. postal service. Most will arrive at the gas companies on Monday Jan. 14th, and we anticipate that negotiation meetings will begin the following Monday, Jan. 21.

The pkg to ea company included:
1. A 2-page letter (a copy is attached of the one addressed to Chesapeake Energy, as an example.)

2. A 5-page list of the 47 gas companies which were sent an individually addressed letter.
(A copy is attached in two formats: WordPerfect and Word.)

3. A 11''x17'' color map showing the task force area

3a. Where it is in relation to a sketch of the whole city

3b. An enlargement of just the task force area (A copy is attached.)

4. A 11''x17'' color map which is a satellite photo of the area.

A lot of work has gone into the task force effort to get us to this point. The important message is to still be patient. Don't believe the high-pressure claims of the landmen who are still working hard to get you to sign a lease before we can negotiate a more favorable one for you.

They would like you to believe that only Dale/Chesapeake & Holland/Paloma are players in our area, and now they are all part of Chesapeake. That does NOT mean there will no longer be any competition for our mineral leases. By sending our task force letter to all the gas companies that we know of that are active in Tarrant County, we are expecting to stimulate some interesting competition for Chesapeake. Our size should give us extraordinary bargaining power.

Please help spread the word to your neighbors who don't have e-mail: Please don't sign a mineral lease until we have negotiated (a much better) one for you!

Anywhere that you see ''Copy is attached'' If you would like to see the attachments please e-mail me. mikedfwtx@sbcglobal.net

Thank You

Thank you Task force for the hard work you've already done and your insight and committment to both protect the quality of life in East Fort Worth AND negotiate the highest possible return for our minerals. GREAT JOB! It will be interesting to see the results and the rewards of your tireless work.

Of course, it is each individual's decision to lease or not. Thanks for continually reminding us of that also.
