Dear Mr. Pearl:

BP, p.l.c. (“BP”) has complied with the rules of The Chicago Stock Exchange (“Exchange”) with respect to its request, dated March 10, 2008, to have its American Depositary Shares withdrawn from listing.

The delisting request was approved, effective March 12, 2008.

BP will continue to trade under unlisted trading privileges (UTP) on this Exchange. No fees are incurred by the company while trading UTP.

A payment of $3,000.00 was received by the Exchange on March 12, 2008, equal to BP’s 2008 Annual Listing Maintenance fees, which were previously invoiced. A portion of this fee is being refunded to the company as a result of the delisting. Please find enclosed check #059803 for $2,400.00, equal to the pro-rated refund.

Issuers are required to file a Form 25 notification with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding any delisting action and must provide a copy to the Exchange. Please forward a copy of said form to my attention at your earliest convenience.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (312) 663-2581.

Sincerely,

/s/ Eileen Daut
