, where χ is a non-trivial additive character of Fq and f ∈ Fq[X ]. In this article we consider the evaluation of all Weil sums where f(X) = aX +1 +L(X) and p = 2. Here, a ∈ Fq, α is any natural number and L ∈ Fq[X ] is any additive polynomial (by which it is meant that L(x+y) = L(x)+L(y) for all x, y ∈ Fq). A result from [4] reduces the problem to the case χ = χ1, the canonical additive character, and L(X) = bX for some b ∈ Fq. Hence our objective in this paper is to explicitly determine the value of the sum
