We have enclosed the materials we discussed with Steve, Eric and Doug last week:

A summary backgrounder deck on Sagittarius culled from the various presentations we have previously discussed
Additional background information which includes two research reports, one from Goldman that is positive and comprehensive, and one from Dresdner, the only analyst with a "sell" on the company. Also included is a Gartner report on Netweaver.
A separate shorter deck that focuses just on an analysis of a possible combination, including customer benefits, synergies and accretion/dilution (see "Project Constellation 12-01 Analysis.ppt"). The first few slides could be shared with Sagittarius. We have also included additional financial detail and supporting information which most likely you wont want to share at this point.
