Dear Lin,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the "International Conference on
Hybrid Systems and Applications" (ICHSA - 2006), I would like to thank you
for your participation and delivering a truly interesting presentation at
the Special Session "Quantitative Methods in Financial and Energy Financial
Modeling" held as a part of the ICHSA - 2006 in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
during May 22 - 26, 2006.

Your participation and presentation were vitally important in making the
Special Session "Quantitative Methods in Financial and Energy Financial
Modeling" a great success. I am receiving numerous positive comments on the
Special Session "Quantitative Methods in Financial and Energy Financial
Modeling", in general, and your presentation, in particular. In this regard,
could you please kindly provide me with the slides of your presentation
(preferably as either a PowerPoint or PDF file) to share it with other
participants, if you have not already done so. (Due to a possibly large size
of such a file, could you please kindly use my work e-mail address).

As we discussed, the Special Session "Quantitative Methods in Financial and
Energy Financial Modeling", can be viewed as a first step towards
establishing a global forum on quantitative financial and energy financial
modeling and risk analysis. This forum will bring together experts from
industry, academia and government working in a wide spectrum of areas in
quantitative financial and energy financial modeling and risk analysis
ranging from mathematical and computational aspects to empirical studies and
models implementation in practice. I genuinely appreciate your preliminary
interest in this initiative of mine to establish such a forum and I
genuinely look forward to your participation in the related activities,
conferences and publications in the future.

Once again, it was a great pleasure to have you as a vital part the Special
Session "Quantitative Methods in Financial and Energy Financial Modeling",
and I genuinely appreciate all you help and efforts in making the event a
great success.

I very much look forward to hearing from you, to future contacts and close
collaboration.

Sincerely,
Valery
