Per our telephone conversation, the purpose of this letter is to confirm the receipt by EnCana Corporation (the “Company”) of the letter dated October 29, 2008 from Jill S. Davis, Branch Chief, and the Company’s intention to file its response.

We confirm that the Company will provide a response by no later than November 26, 2008.
Please contact the undersigned at (212) 373-3078 if you have any questions or require any further information in connection with this letter.
