Dear Mr. Gitter:

We write with an update regarding the e-mail account sdonwon@gmail.com. I have tried the passwords on the master
password list that counsel for Chevron provided, and none of the passwords provided access to the account (I tried
uppercase and lowercase variations of the passwords). We have also spoken with Mr. Woods, who, like Mr. Donziger, is
not familiar with the account. I also went to the "password retrieval" utility on Gmail, and it provided the following "secret
question": 좋아하는 음식은? I do not speak or read Korean, and I understand that Messrs. Donziger and Woods do not
either, but when I pasted this question into "Google Translate," it autodetected the language as Korean and translated the
question as "favorite food?" Finally, I note again here, as we noted yesterday, that the e-mail service providers (including
Google) have told us that they have not identified e-mail accounts other than those that have been previously identified
and investigated in the course of these proceedings.

Respectfully,

Tim Haggerty

Dear Mr. Gitter:

I write on behalf of Bruce Kaplan and myself with an update regarding Mr. Donziger's email accounts.
After many conversations with the e-mail service providers, they all have reported that they are not able
to identify any e-mail accounts other than those we have already been aware of and investigated. In some
cases (sdonziger@aol.com, sdonziger2@yahoo.com, gringograndote@gmail.com), the e-mail service
providers cannot verify or provide information about the accounts listed in the subpoenas. All of the
service providers have noted that they have limitations in their ability to cross-reference backup e-mail
accounts and IP log information to identify primary e-mail addresses; generally, their systems are
designed so that they can access IP log information (as to which storage policies vary by e-mail service
provider, but none store IP log information indefinitely) and secondary e-mail accounts when they know
the primary e-mail account - not the other way around. They will be sending confirmatory letters to us
with these findings and conclusions, which they believe close out the subpoenas, shortly.

As to the e-mail that Ms. Hendricks sent to us earlier today regarding the e-mail address
sdonwon@gmail.com, we have asked Mr. Donziger whether he recalls using this account, and he has
advised us that he does not. In light of this, it would be helpful if counsel for Chevron provide us with
some further information that might help us determine whether this account might be one used by Mr.
Donziger. Without further information that would tend to support a good faith conclusion that there is
a reasonable likelihood that the account might belong to Mr. Donziger, we are not entirely comfortable
attempting to access the account. Nevertheless, we will employ the password list since the chances are
remote that one of the passwords would succeed if the account were not Mr. Donziger's.

Respectfully,

Tim Haggerty

Subject: In re Application of Chevron, Case No. 10-mc-00002 (LAK) -- New email address

Mr. Kaplan and Mr. Haggerty:


Just yesterday, we identified for the first time another email account that appears to have been used by Mr.
Donziger but was not previously identified by him. The email address is sdonwon@gmail.com. We request
that you ask Mr. Donziger whether he used this account, and then attempt to access the account using the
passwords identified in our prior emails on this subject. If unsuccessful in accessing the account using those

passwords, we request that you issue another subpoena to google requesting immediate production of the
contents of this account, with Mr. Donziger's express consent.
Thank you,
Kristen
