        TNT EXPRESS LAUNCHES SECURE ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT SERVICE TO ADD  
                    INSTANT DELIVERY TO EXPRESS PORTFOLIO

TNT, the global express carrier, today launched SecurEdoc, secure express
delivery over the Internet.SecurEdoc is the instantaneous and secure electronic
alternative to Express document delivery and strengthens TNT as the fastest and
most reliable provider of express delivery services.

The new product has been launched internationally as TNT Express targets large
predicted growth in demand for the use of e-mail and secure e-mail services.  By
2002 it is estimated the global e-mail market size will be 7.9 billion messages
a day (1), with "a potential market value for electronic document distribution
of $10 billion" by the end of 2001 (2).

The SecurEdoc  electronic document technology has been developed by TNT Express
in partnership with leading US software company, NetEx, and is operated through
a dedicated web site at www.tnt.com/securedoc.  The service not only
dramatically reduces the delivery time and cost of physical distribution but
also overcomes the limitations of using standard e-mail packages.  As well as
providing a high level of encryption (128-bit), SecurEdoc does not have document
or file size restrictions.  SecurEdoc software enables bulky graphics, text and
attachments to be sent at high speed.  The capability for secure archiving on
the website also means that a customer can  access saved files anywhere in the
world simply from a computer with Internet facilities.

Alan Jones, Group Managing Director Express, TNT Post Group, identified the
importance of the new product:  "Customers in our marketplace demand
convenience, fast services and reliable delivery.  At its most simple level
SecurEdoc is an instant delivery service.  What we have introduced is the
fastest secure way to send a document and the most efficient confidential form
of archiving.  Our service is free for the first megabyte per month and offers a
brand new value-for-money method of sending documents.  For TNT, this is the
natural progression in reducing transit times - from two-day to overnight to
sameday services - and achieves our goal to offer customers the fastest and most
reliable services.".

The SecurEdoc fast and secure transmission is available at a price that is     
extremely competitive with other less reliable or slower forms of delivery.  The
product is a logical service extension to the fast and reliable physical
distribution services already provided by TNT.  The company is targeting
industries in the legal, financial, IT and media sectors where there are demands
for regular distribution of documents, issues of confidentiality, or the need to
send large electronic files.

TNT is a global provider of mail, express and logistics services.  TNT Express
delivers 3.2 million parcels and pieces of freight a week using its network of
over 800 hubs and depots serviced by over 17,000 vehicles and 43 aircraft.

express and logistics services.  It employs more than 115,000 people in 60
countries and serves over 200 countries.  The company had sales of EUR 8.5
billion in 1999.  TPG is publicly listed on the Stock Exchanges of Amsterdam,
