Subject: Telecommunications Letter of Agency


Dear Richard:

National  Bank of Alaska (NBA) hereby  appoints GCI as its agent for the limited
purpose of ordering,  implementing and maintaining  telecommunications  services
provided by any contractor,  local exchange carrier,  interexchange  carrier, or
enhanced/alternate   service   provider   as  may  be   necessary   for  GCI  to
manage/provide telecommunications services to NBA.

This agency relationship shall remain in effect until modified or revoked by NBA
in writing.  When GCI acts as agent,  GCI is responsible,  on behalf of NBA, for
all such charges,  including without limitation monthly charges,  usage charges,
installation  charges,  or  applicable  termination  charges of the providers of
telecommunications  facilities,  whether these charges are arranged to be billed
directly to NBA or to GCI.

Neither NBA nor GCI shall be  precluded  by this  appointment  from dealing with
carriers  or  providers  in  arranging   for   telecommunications   services  or
connections  to  other  equipment  separate  from  those  associated  with  this
agreement.

Sincerely,
