         Dear Chris

         I am authorised by the Board of Directors ("the Board") to record the
         terms of your appointment as a director of e-linking Inc ("the
         Company") as follows:

1        TERMS OF APPOINTMENT

1.1      Your appointment is as a non-executive director of the Company, with
         such appointment being subject to Admission of the share capital of the
         Company to the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock
         Exchange by no later than 30 April 2000, and for a term expiring when
         the first of the following events occurs:

         (a)      if you are not re-appointed or deemed to have been
                  re-appointed a director by shareholders following your
                  retirement at any time in accordance with the Company's
                  Articles of Association;

         (b)      if you are otherwise removed as a director or vacate office
                  pursuant to the law or the Company's Articles of Association;

         (c)      if you resign or do not offer yourself for re-election by
                  shareholders, either for your own reasons or at the request of
                  the Board; or

         (d)      either you or the Company terminate the appointment by giving
                  the other three months' notice in writing.

1.2      The Board's recommendation for your re-election by shareholders is not
         automatic. In advance of each relevant occasion, whilst you remain a
         non-executive director, the Board will normally discuss at a board
         meeting whether or not to recommend your re-election: you will be
         advised of the decision following the conclusion of the meeting.

2        DUTIES

         As a non-executive director you should:

         (a)      bring an independent judgment to bear on issues of Company
                  strategy, performance, resources (including key appointments)
                  and standards of conduct, INTER ALIA as outlined in the
                  Principles of Good Governance and Code of Best Practice ("the
                  Combined Code") prepared by the Hampel Committee on Corporate
                  Governance, bearing in mind the size of the Company and the
                  nature of its business;

         (b)      fulfil your general duties as a director (pursuant to the
                  Company's Articles of Association, the law and all relevant
                  regulations); and

         (c)      attend meetings of the Board and any committees of which you
                  are from time to time a member (including the Remuneration and
                  Audit Committees) and shareholders meetings.

3        INFORMATION

         You will be supplied with all information (including financial
         information) which in the Company's view you reasonably require in
         order to carry out your duties and such information will be provided in
         sufficiently good time to enable you to give it proper consideration
         prior to any decision which may have to be made. In particular, the
         Company will provide you with the papers for Board meetings not less
         than seven days prior to such meetings (unless such meetings are held
         at short notice to which you consent) and the monthly management
         accounts as soon as possible after they become available.
