Relativity



I am way over my head with this one but I wonder if someone can help.

If a stationary positron (in some frame of reference) is struck by an
electron moving relativisticly, is there perfect conversion of the mass
into energy considering that, from the point of view of the positron,
the electron has more mass than the positron.

A high school student asked this and I have no idea what to tell him.

Thanks for any suggestions.
