Jeff, As you know, you are going to be the keynote speaker at this year YPO Regional Conference next September.
The organizers are asking us if you will be willing to participate in a "breakout" session right after your speech.
The session would be 1 hour 15 minutes long and only a fraction of the 130 couples would participate.
Since the topics being presented at the same time are more family oriented ( The Aspen Contemporary Museum of Art, mother- daughter relationships, wealth and family business), Bill and I thought that if you decide to go ahead with this session, you would probably like to talk about a business topic form a personal perspective like how to become a CEO or the characteristics of a leader.
In my opinion, we will not get much extra from this additional session, but since you are involved with the organization, I wanted to check with you before saying that you were not available for an additional session.
Please, let me know if you want to participate and what topic would you like to talk about.
Regards,
| YPO Regional Conference - Additional session |
Jeff, =20 Mona Yousry and I are both sending you seperate messages regarding Mr. Larr= y Robinson.
I have known Larry for 30 years.
I spent 3 years in Tanzania = with Larry and his father when I was 16 years old.
My father was the only = M.D.
at an 80 bed hospital 40 miles north of Kigoma, Tanzania.
=20 Larry is assisting the Maasai tribes in Tanzania by installing solar powere= d water pumps.
Larry is looking for creative ways to fund the solar projec= ts, which are obviously energy related.
Larry has access to various tribal= art works that could be imported back to the states as well as offering un= ique safaris into areas of East Africa that are not on the map so to speak.= The trading of art or safaris for solar resources seems to some how fit a= model that you are an expert in.
Namely trading.
=20 Based on what I have read about you, your interest in dangerous and thrilli= ng adventures combined with your access to financial or energy related solu= tions and knowing Larry, a truly one of a kind human being, would you be wi= lling to start a dialog with him?
=20 I asked Larry to write something about himself and life in Africa.
I am at= taching it as is, for your review.

=20 Mona =20 Lawrence Robinson: Born in Congo, Central Africa, 1952.
=20 My father was born in Zimbabwe, Africa.
My parents and grandparents were M= issionaries.
My grandparents went to Africa from California in 1912 and are= both buried in Africa.
I was raised in very remote areas of the Belgian C= ongo and from an early age spent lots of time in the African Bush.
This wa= s a time to learn many of the secrets necessary to survive the African bus= h and love it.
I had the opportunity to study and learn animal behavior in= ways that most experts only dream about.
Some of my greatest memories are= from times I would take a pocket full of salt with my rifle and go into t= he bush for 10 days to 2 weeks at a time, sometimes totally alone.
It was = also a time to learn about the African people and their languages and cult= ures.
As time passed and Independence swept the Continent, I saw Zaire, th= e great land where I was born, turn into a blood bath.
I learned more abou= t the most savage creature of all.
As I saw men slaughter men, women, and = children, I understood better how organized and balanced nature really is.= I am a U.S. Citizen and Resident in Tanzania, East Africa.
I am tri-lingu= al and understand three other African languages.
I have an FAA Commercial = Pilots license.

This system has been operating for a year now with ou= tstanding success.
When necessary, we also use UV Water Purification Units= powered by Solar Energy to purify any contamination which may exist in wa= ter supplies.
One of the areas we are now working in is located in Northe= rn Tanzania just South of the Kenya boarder and just East of the Serengeti= National Park.
This is considered Maasai Land and is fascinating country.= Each year hundreds of thousands Wilderbeasts migrate south through this a= rea to give birth to their young in the Southern plains of the Serengeti.

Mr. Skilling: Cordell W. Hull, Chairman and CEO of InfrastructureWorld, and a Director of Bechtel Group, Inc., will be in Houston on Wednesdayand Thursday, 1& 2 Augustrespectively, and would like to meet with you, at your convenience, during that period if your calendar allows.
Thank you for your consideration and I will contact your office tomorrow to see if this works with your schedule.
With best regards,

Jeff, Thought I bring this by you.
Just happened to think about one of or the final episode for the building guy that would end up very appropriately when the new building is finished.
How about, maybe near its completion, the building guy meets the "building girl", fall in love and marry on top of the Enron Building.
The "two" (buildings) join as one and live happily ever after in Enron World.
Could be a televised promotion.
Just a thought, Robert

I would like to share with you a personal struggle I go through as the United Way contribution campaign rolls around each year.
First I would like commend the United Way as an organization that does help people in need in our community.
At the same time it funds the Boy Scouts of America, an organization with an explicit policy to discriminate against gays.
I know I can direct my contribution within United Way, but not until the United Way sees a drop in its total fund raising will it withdraw funding of the Boy Scouts of America.
I hope all involved in this effort understand why I and others choose not to contribute to the United Way and instead make direct contributions to organizations that do not discriminate.
| United Way and Boy Scouts of America |
Jeff, Here are the two versions of your presentation.
After you have a chance to play around with the animation on the new version, let me know what changes you want to make.

Jeff, Thank you so much for your endorsement of Expectations Investing.
Michael has been singing your praises to me for some time now and I too am a real fan of your innovations at Enron.
Best wishes for continued success.

Jeff, We have never met, but I have read and enjoyed your articles on Enron's bold business vision.
Stan Marek, head of Marek Brothers, in Houston is a good friend of mine, and he suggested I call you directly, but I think an email may be more efficient.
I am CTO and Senior VP of R&D for a software company called Hyprotech.
We are second in the global market for process simulation technology, but I think first in innovation.
One of Hyprotech's philosophies is to "model to the business boundary".
This allows a business leader to have as clearer vision of the technical behavior of an asset to any depth and fidelity that is appropriate per the desired modeling investment.
We do whole-asset models of refineries, chemical plants and power plants.
Also, Hyprotech is the only company with the full technical capability of modeling the entire business asset for oil and gas operations from sand face to custody transfer (well-bore, riser, piping network, topside processing, transmission, separation, gas plant, compression, metering).
As a result, Hyprotech has 80% of this market.
Hyprotech is deeply into real-time online modeling for decision support and optimization.
We have been discussing with gas storage industry the possibility of basing trading on a full dynamic model of the facility.
The business motivator is that a full scope model coupled to an contract and business parameters allows for a better estimate of the sensitivities of a trade.
I am a Enron stockholder and naturally thought that perhaps the same methodology can be applied as a real-time model-based data filter coupled to Enron's current decision support models for trading.
The real-time model is a virtual facility (much as a flight simulator is a virtual airplane) and should increase understanding, open up new possibilities, reduce risk and increase agility in trades.
My question is who at Enron the most appropriate person for discussing details and practicalities of this concept for your company?
Thanks for your attention,

Jeff, Behind every successful executives career there is at least one break; one time where someone took a chance on them and they proved them right.
I am a Sr.
Specialist with DealBench.
With redeployment looming, I have been told to begin looking within Enron for opportunities.
This brings us to this email that I have written you; I am asking you for my chance.
I have a Business degree and 4 years of experience with Deloitte Consulting.
I have nearly 8 months of experience with DealBench, acting as the product development manager, strategist, marketer, nearly everything.
I am flexible, adaptive, intelligent, and quite possibly the hardest worker you have working for you at Enron.
True this is a bold statement, but I firmly believe it and since I've got only a few minutes of your time, I better sell hard!
I have no ego.
I am, after all, only a Sr.
Specialist.
I haven't transcended into the Manager/Director level where I have seen others stubbornly think they know everything.
I am hungry; I love the business world and will do whatever it takes to succeed.
I would like to propose myself for an executive-trainee program within your office.
At other companies, I have seen this tool effectively used to help ambitious individuals learn invaluable business skills.
At Deloitte, the program was a year rotation where Senior Consultants would assist the CEO in whatever they could.
I know people that have participated and they have all learned much more than they ever dreamed.
The learning's that I would get from a year within your office would help me immensely as I work myself toward the upper echelons of management.
Bottom Line: What's in it for you 1) An excellent member of your team that will help you and your organization succeed 2) An open channel to the perspective of lower levels within your organization 3) More ambition in one person than you thought possible What's in it for me 1) A once in a lifetime opportunity to learn what it really takes to run a business 2) Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge I hope that you will take a few minutes of your time to evaluate this idea.
I truly believe it can become a powerful learning tool within Enron like it has at other companies, and I would be honored to be the first person to participate.
I wasn't sure if I should write this message (your too busy, you don't know me from Adam, blah, blah), but I decided to take a chance.
I hope that you will consider taking a chance on me.
Thanks for your time.
I have attached my resume for your review.
| Redeployment Opportunity - 3 minutes of your time |
Dear Jeff, I sent you a presentation concerning InterFit Health which is the diagnostic screening company we discussed months ago.
There are two issues I would like to address: I.
Are you interested in investing?
2.
I would like to present to Enron our scope of services which will in all certainty provide lower healthcare cost and greater productivity.
The cost of our biometric testing is very modest in comparison to your total health costs and leads to designing your benefits program with disease risk knowledge vs. shooting in the dark.
This is a truly unique approach which is why JP Morgan Chase, Reliant, and Halliburton have become clients of the company in the last month.
I know that you are very time constrained so if you cannot address this with me please refer me to another Enron officer who has bottom line responsibility for your healthcare costs.
The same information was sent to Ken and I have placed a call to him.
I appreciate your considering our services.
Best regards,
| Mischer Healthcare |

Dear Mr Skilling, Please forgive this interruption to your business day, but I thought it might be time I owned up before you found out from someone else.
A. I saw you speak at the Tibco conference in Las Vegas and I was inspired.
I've been at Enron for over 5 years, and I think it's fantastic that we using the 'strategy' word more and more.
B. I stole your slides and re-used them for my own purposes.
I hope you don't mind.
C. I think I can see how to move forward with our technology team to build the kind of systems "structure" that goes some way to mimicking the capabilities inherent in your new business structure.
I thought you might enjoy thumbing through "my" slides and notes.
Regards,
| Thanks for the slides |
Jeff, Last Wednesday morning, I was fortunate to share breakfast with you.
I thoroughly enjoyed the hour that you spent with us.
At the end of the hour, I gave to you a one page summary of a tremendous energy devise that has received extreme interest from the likes of Conoco, Anadarko, and Texaco.
As I quickly mentioned, the inventor of this geothermal apparatus is in town this week.
Have you had the opportunity to quickly review this paper?
If so, do you feel as though Enron might have some interest in further discussions with the inventors?
This could be a tremendous new, innovative opportunity for Enron.
I look forward to your response.

Hi Jeff, Your assistant suggested that I send an email to discuss what I hope you will find an intriguing proposition.
I am the co-author of a book entitled The McKinsey Mind - Understanding and Implementing the Problem-Solving Tools and Management Techniques of the World's Top Strategic Consulting Firm which is in final stages of editing and will be published on September 21.
The other author is Ethan Rasiel, who also penned The McKinsey Way in 1999 and the publisher is McGraw-Hill.
We are searching for high level successful executives who may be willing to skim the manuscript (or read it thoroughly if you see fit) and offer a few words of support for the cover of the book (which you can send via email).
You are our top choice as you are a McKinsey alumnus who had done an incredible job after his career at the Firm.
We would be honored if you would consider this request of your fellow alumni.
We don't believe it would take much effort or time on your part, but it would really add in our effort to get the word out.
By the way, the book represents a very positive view of McKinsey and does not violate any confidentiality agreements.
Given the short time period involved (the published has requested all endorsements by Friday), we will arrange for a copy of the manuscript to be sent to you via overnight mail to arrive tomorrow.
We recognize that you are quite busy and would understand if you are unable to work with us.
If you chose not to review this material, could you please just have the copy properly shredded?
Thank you very much for your consideration and potential help with this exciting project.
Ethan and I are big fans of what you have done at Enron!

Mr. Skilling, Hello!
My name is Tim Ng and I was a summer analyst the last 2 summers.
Last August, I met with you for a few minutes in your office to talk and ask for advice.
You told me to diversify my life experiences, as that can only help you throughout life.
Like you, with your desire to fly planes, I decided to take a plane to travel around the world.
In the last year, I studied abroad in Hong Kong, traveled to places such as China, Macau, Thailand, and Australia.
After travelling, I see how doing different things, seeing different things can only enhance your total life experience.
Tomorrow, I will return to Enron as a full-time Analyst.
I look forward to this opportunity to learn more, and challenge myself, and hopefully, do new and different things to diversify my experiences.
I thank you for taking the time to meet with me last summer.
It really meant a lot to me, and your advice has really changed the way I go about things in life now.
Perhaps one day, I can meet with you again.
I know that your schedule can only be busier now, but hopefully I can see you during your talk with the new Analysts sometime in the next week or so.
Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!
Kindest regards, Tim Ng

Dear Mr. Skilling, On behalf of Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. (San Francisco), it is my pleasure to invite you to meet with him regarding energy issues in California.
Mayor Brown wishes to meet with you in his capacity as a trustee of the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS).
As you know, CalPERS is the largest public pension fund in the nation and is a sizeable investor in domestic energy stocks, bonds, debentures, etc.
The Board has appointed Mayor Brown to lead a delegation of trustees to meet with the CEOs of CalPERS' largest energy holdings.
Enron represents one such holding.
The Mayor would be pleased to host you in his office at the newly renovated City Hall in San Francisco or arrange an alternative location at your earliest convenience.
I will await your response.
Sincerely,
| Meeting with Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. |
Mr Skilling, Thank you for inviting me to participate in the last Executive Forum.
It was very informative.
And it helped me to understand some of the corporate goals and issues more clearly.
As I mentioned in that meeting, I think the Xcelerator can be a key tool for leveraging our "soft" assets, as well as helping Enron develop new business models to lead it into the future.
I also think the Xcelerator can play a key role in creating a balance between technology and commercial realities.

Stan felt it would be appropriate for the Policy Committee to review the attached changes to the Analyst / Associate PRC process, prior to execution.
In summary, the following modifications have been developed by the heads of the AAPRC Committees (Horton, Kean, and Sherriff) and A/A Program Management (Lemmons): ?
Most cross-calibration will be at the business unit level, since this is where the best interaction and information gathering occurs.
Steps to ensure consistency across the business units are outlined in the memo.
The final PRC meeting will focus on business unit ranking distributions, and the names/attributes of the top performers across the company.
?
The PRC committees have been expanded to improve the quality of representation, and to reflect the diversity of our workforce.
The additions were selected from a pool of high performing VPs and Directors.
To ensure fairness, only VPs and Directors will provide representation on the AAPRC Committee.
?
An attachment has been included to clarify program tenure and promotion criteria.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss by mid-day Wednesday, May 9.
We are planning to release this information to the memo distribution list that evening.
Regards,

Hi Ken and Jeff, This email is being sent to let you know that my consulting contract with Enron has finally come to an end.
It has been a great experience to me to have been involved in the development of such successful international projects as, Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala in 1993, Batangas and Subic Bay in 1992/93 in the Philippines and Guam in 1996, all of which are still contributing to Enron's earnings.
The opportunities provided me during the first 26 years with Northern Natural Gas/Internorth, from which I retired in 1988, and the last 11 years as a consultant for Enron Development and Enron International have made me a better person and I thank you both for this.
I will continue to be involved in consulting and development of both power and natural gas projects, although on a more limited basis, and only as an independent.
Should there be any need for my services or need to be contacted for any reason, I can be reached at:

June 29, 2001 Dear Questia Stockholder: As a follow-up to our Series C stock offering, I would like to inform you that the participation in our Series C offering has been slower than anticipated.
We had originally intended to raise $15MM to $20MM dollars.
To date we have raised approximately $11MM although we are expecting to hear from several Taiwanese investors about a substantial investment that will be incremental to the $11MM that has been raised to date.
Additionally, we have recently retained Credit Suisse First Boston to assist us with a $25MM private placement with a strategic partner.
We are optimistic that this round will close in mid to late September 2001.
You may recall that the Series C documents provided for us to close the Series C round on May 31, 2001.
Questia would like to extend that period to permit additional Series C investors to participate in the Series C round on the same terms and conditions as the Series C investors who participated prior to May 31, 2001.

Boys, At the risk of him saying "It's no big deal fellas", I need to notify you that Brother John Grumbles, will be undergoing exploratory heart surgery via the ole catheter up the leg procedure sometime very soon.
The Drs.
are telling him he's most likely got a partially clogged artery at the bottom of his heart and if he does, they will proceed with the angioplasty procedure at the same time.
Dr. Fullerton has already contacted him as have several of us local guys and I think IT IS A BIG DEAL and I know he would appreciate a call.
The surgery was actually scheduled for a couple of days ago but was cancelled at the last minute because of a doctor screw up.
His phone number is 972 617-2412.

Jeff, I am pleased to update you on Texas Children's Hospital's current status in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Allison.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Texas Children's Hospital has taken several steps to support three Texas Medical Center hospitals seriously damaged by the floods caused by Tropical Storm Allison.
Support to The Methodist Hospital Beginning today and continuing for the foreseeable future, Texas Children's will make two operating rooms available to surgeons from The Methodist Hospital for adult cardiovascular and liver transplant procedures.
In addition, Texas Children's will dedicate a 12-bed unit to the adult Methodist patients for their follow-up intensive care and post-operative recovery.
The adult Methodist Hospital surgical procedures to be performed at Texas Children's will be scheduled between 3:00pm and 3:00am to avoid conflicts with the normal Texas Children's pediatric surgical schedules.
The Methodist surgeons will receive support in the Texas Children's operating rooms from Methodist anesthesiolgists, radiologists, nurses, blood bank and other Methodist allied health professionals.
Texas Children's Hospital will provide additional support services to the Methodist adult patients, including diagnostic imaging, laboratory tests, food and pharmacy services.
Texas Children's will also provide a senior clinical administrator 24 hours a day, seven days a week to facilitate communications in meeting the needs of the Methodist physicians and nurses and their adult patients The number of adult surgeries that will be performed by the Methodist surgeons at Texas Children's Hospital will be governed by the capacity of the 12-bed Texas Children's intensive care unit being made available.
This arrangement will continue until The Methodist Hospital is able to return its operating rooms and associated support facilities to service.
As it has done since the flood, Texas Children's will continue to accept adult bone marrow transplant patients from The Methodist Hospital based on Texas Children's room and staff availabilty.
Support to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital Texas Children's Hospital is in the process of working out details of an agreement by which Texas Children's will make up to 30 beds available to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital for general acute care of adult patients.
The adult St. Luke's patients who will occupy these Texas Children's beds will be under the care of St. Luke's physicians, nurses, allied health and support services.
Texas Children's will provide experienced clinical administrators to St. Luke's 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assure seamless delivery of services to their adult patients.
This arrangement between Texas Children's and St. Luke's is anticipated to be operational sometime next week.
Support to Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital Texas Children's Hospital today hosted a meeting with executives from Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital in which Texas Children's offered Memorial Hermann up to 26 neonatal level 2 and general acute care beds.
Should Memorial Hermann accept this offer, it would staff these beds with its own physicians and nurses, while Texas Children's would provide complete support services.
No decision has been made regarding this proposal.
Texas Children's Hospital Flood Recovery Status Although Texas Children's Hospital sustained an estimated $20 million in damages and lost entirely one of its patient care buildings, we were able to continue full operations with a 100+ percent patient census during the floods caused by Tropical Storm Allison.
Since then, our inpatient census has remained near 100 percent while our operating rooms, outpatient specialty clinics and emergency center have functioned at their normal, high rates of performance.
Meanwhile, work continues to repair our damaged areas on the B2 basement level and to complete loss assessments to be able to file claims with our insurance carriers.
The Hospital carries a complete program of property, equipment and business interruption insurance and expects to be adquately reimbursed for its losses.
Our Sincere Gratitude to The Texas Children's Family On behalf of the Texas Children's Hospital Board of Trustees, may I once again express our deepest gratitude to everyone in the Texas Children's Hospital Integrated Delivery System for your extraordinarily professional response to the threats posed by the floods of Tropical Storm Allison and their aftermath.
Most importantly, our mission of providing the finest possible pediatric care to our young patients and their families continued uninterrupted during and after the floods.
In addition, through your dedication and sacrifice, we have been able to reach out to our neighbors in the Texas Medical Center to help them care for their patients as they struggle to recover from the terrible devastation they endured from the flood.
We are so very proud and honored to have you as members of the Texas Children's family.
Again, thank you very much!

I don't whether he sent this to the industry press or just friends.

Dear Jeff, I worked at McKinsey (NY/FI) during 1985-91 and have since founded and run an IT systems integration company called Techna in Silicon Valley, with clients worldwide and Purnendu ("PC") Chatterjee (ex McK and affiliated with Soros' funds) as an equity partner.
We have been working closely with Sempra Energy trading for the past couple of years and are beginning an engagement with NYMEX soon.
Our president, Ben Bernstein (ex Microsoft) has been managing these clients on the east coast personally.
Ben and I feel that we have interesting ideas in IT for Enron from our experience in this industry thus far, and would appreciate your indulgence in getting us in touch with the appropriate IT leaders at Enron for us to make a pitch.
Your achievements at Enron since leaving McKinsey have deservedly won you quite a fan following!
As an unabashed member of this group, I would love to hear from you anyway, when you find a moment in your busy day.
Best regards.

Dear Jeffrey, I meant what I said about you showing a great deal of character to talk to what was in the best of conditions an " unfriendly " crowd.
You could have stayed in Texas, or not made public a public appearance.
Either way you didn't have to make the effort.
I am sure you have given your presentation a great deal of thought.
If could I offer a suggestion.
You correctly identified the ugly side of human nature which needs someone to blame.
No one has a problem blaming the regulators but there is still this outstanding question who is profiting.
If sales of power have gone from 7bln in 99, 27bln in 2000 and 50bln in 01. Who is profiting?
The cost of generation has not risen this much, so someone is making a large profit.
You alluded to municipal power generators but the more specific you can be, break it down etc, the more believable it will be that Enron is not an evil energy company pocketing Californians money.
Secondly, Enron has a great opportunity to be visible in promoting alternative sources, and or mass transportation improvements.
To set an agenda for the country that is responsible and progressive.

Dear Jeff, Heard about the pie episode today in California.
From all the press accounts I've read, it sounds like you handled what had to be a difficult situation admirably and, in the immediate wake such adolesence, still managed to clearly and articulately make your case about what's been going on out there.
Congratulations---hats off to you, Jeff.

Jeff, I'd like to discuss with the head of your wholesale energy/commodities trading and marketing unit.
We're actively engaged with VP-level and Director-level executives of trading and marketing and risk management at Williams, Duke, Reliant, Sempra, and many others.

Dear Jeff, I just wanted to let you know that I thought your talk last night was inspirational.
I have been working in the San Francisco office for 2 years helping to permit sites for generating facilities.
During this time our team have had to endure more than our fair share of irrational and misinformed individuals.
One thing they didn't teach me at business school was how to educate people in a hostile and political environment while maintaining your dignity and humility.
Your example last night has certainly set a new personal standard for me to strive for.

Dear Jeff, As you may remember, we last met at the Directors' conference in Barcelona, last October.
On that occasion, I asked you whether you would be agreeable to the idea of meeting some of the top executives of a client that I am serving in France, EDF and even giving them a speech at their marketing conference.
Given the short notice, this turned out to be impossible at that point in time since, at that time, you were "booked" for the following three months, if I remember well!
You also told me that, provided you received some "advanced notice", it would not be too difficult to organise the encounter at a different date that the one I had then mentioned.
I am thus sending you this message to find out what is the earliest date we could meet with you, preferably in Texas, since our client executives would like to take advantage of the encounter to meet not only you, but also some members of your management team.
Once I have a reply from you, I shall inform our client of the dates you suggest and get back to you to finalise detail of when we could travel to Texas and who we would like to meet, ideally .
I hope all is well with you and I look forward to reading your response to this message.
Many thanks in advance, and best of all.

Words can never express my heartfelt gratitude for the funds you made available to those of us who suffered losses because of the flood.
The experience was so overwhelming.
The devastation of so many was heart wrenching.
Your generosity is so awesome, and I appreciate all that you are doing to help others as well as myself.
God bless you and thank you.

Dear Jeff, As I am back to the drawing board and start planning for the Global Leadership Program 2002, I would like to ask for your continuous support.
The visits this year to the offices in London and Tokyo have received most favorable feedback and ENRON was mentioned several times during our GLP symposium by both groups.
Your innovative ideas and global views has enriched their MBA experience.
Quoting directly from one of the students this year: " ... a wonderful, life-altering program.
The trip was truly an amazing experience, one that was both personally and academically rewarding.
Hopefully, the GLP will remain an essential part of the Cox experience for many years to come."
I would really apprecite the opportunity for the incoming class to visit ENRON in London and Tokyo during their GLP trip in May if possible.
Again, thanks for everything and I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm Regards,
| COX GLP 2002 |
Jeff, I enjoyed visiting with you, Lou, and Greg last week.
I haven't heard anything back, and so wanted to check in to see if it's appropriate to schedule a follow up phone call.
I am leaving for Europe on June 30 and will be gone for 10 days, so hoped to hear something before then.
Thanks.

Friends... Chris Bartlett at Harvard presented (last week) the 2 most recent Enron cases he wrote to the "Harvard Program for Global Leadership".
This is an Exec Ed program for CXO's and Senior management from throughout the world.
Chris called me today to say that the cases received outstanding reviews, and that the largely international CXO audience was both knowledgeable about, and very 'pro-Enron'!

Dear Mr. Lay & Mr. Skilling, I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you and Enron for the $1000.00 I received.
My husband and I were devastated when our home flooded.
I was so proud to be an Enron employee when I heard that we had donated $500,000 to the flood relief fund.
But when I learned that we would be eligible for $1000 as flood victims, I could only burst into tears and thank God for working for such a humanitarian company.
I was a participant in the Fortune 500 survey last year and rated Enron as THE best place to work for!
I truly believed it then and even more so now.
Thank you again for going above and beyond this employees' expectations.
We are truly grateful.
| Thank You! |
Jeff: Congratulations on the work you have been doing at Enron.
It must be an exciting time for you and I enjoy watching the company grow under your direction.
On a different note, my firm has continued to expand it's business practices.
We have been working with companies like Shell, Texaco, Coca-Cola, Dell Computer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and others.
I would very much appreciate having the opportunity to meet with your head of human resources (or anyone you feel appropriate) to present our capabilities.
Any assistance you could provide in this area would certainly be appreciated.

Mr. Jeffrey Skilling, My name is Mohamad Haidar and I represent DDI Technologies, Inc. We are a technology development firm; specializing in "digitizing control of the home" at a reasonable cost.
DDI feels that Enron and DDI have an opportunity to both capitalize on the development path we are following.
I appreciate your time today and have Emailed to set up a time to discuss in more detail the technology development our firm has already accomplished and the directions we are set to pursue.
DDI feels that the patent we have pending can provide the essential economic platform and protocols to make remote home controls, appliance connectivity, meter reading, medical inputs, food ordering and the provision of other services a reality.
Your firms position in the markets and growth directions would indicate your interest in developments such as DDI's.
We would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the prototypes we have developed; based on the patent noted above.
I thank you again for your time.
Please, let us know.

Good morning, Jeff.
I caught Frontline's documentary on "Blackout" in its entirety this past Tuesday evening on PBS and found it quite interesting.
I was very impressed with both you and Ken Lay the way you bounced back the answers to the commentator's questions.
I've been with the company for 3-1/2 years and I am so proud to work with your organization more than ever!

On Saturday, June 9, Tropical Storm Allison left Houston in chaos dumping more than 20 inches of rain and flooding the city in a matter of hours.
As of Sunday night, 17 people had died in the storm and many others are still missing.
One of those who perished in the fatal flood was one of our employees, a summer intern in ETS and student at Texas A & M University, Chad Garren.
Our condolences go out to his family and co-workers.
At this time, Enron Community Relations and Aggies@Enron <mailto:Aggies@Enron> are planning to establish a scholarship fund in his memory.
More information on the fund will be forthcoming.
Enron has made a corporate contribution of $500,000 to the American Red Cross to aid in the victim relief effort.
Enron employees are encouraged to donate to relief efforts and to take advantage of our Matching Gift Program to double the impact of your individual donation.
Enron will match your contribution dollar for dollar and your donation will not be counted against your $15,000 annual limit.
Although Enron is supporting the American Red Cross, please feel free to make your donation to the non-profit organization of your choice that is offering aid to flood victims (they must provide proof of their 501c 3 status).
Please send your check to EB1635a before Friday, June 15, and we will send it, along with a matching check to the appropriate agency.
On the memo line of your check, please make sure to write "Houston Flood Relief."
We know that many Enron employees have been severely impacted by this devastating flood.
Enron cares about you and your family and would like to make sure that your immediate needs are being met.
If you have been displaced because of the flood, please contact the Community Relations hotline at ext.
37181 for assistance.
Also, if you would like to help your co-workers who have been displaced, an account has been set up at the Enron Federal Credit Union to accept donations.
Please bring/send your contribution to the Enron Federal Credit Union and make your checks out to Employee Flood Relief .
There are many agencies in Houston in need of volunteer assistance.
If you would like to volunteer, please e-mail your name and extension to communityrelations@enron.com <mailto:communityrelations@enron.com>.
Please note if you are willing to lead a project.
Again, our hearts go out to Chad's family and to all of you who have been impacted by this tragedy.
Please continue to watch your e-mail for more information.

Jeff, I hope all is well with you.
Sorry I missed you in NY a couple of weeks ago.
I'd love to catch up with you.
Looks and sounds like you are still doing terrific things, and I use you and Enron a great deal in conveying my message to investors and managers.
Al Rappaport and I have completed our book, Expectations Investing, which will be published by Harvard Business School Press in September.
(See attached preface).
I'm really excited about the product, and I think you'll find it interesting as well.
Al and I have asked the publisher to send you a more recent version for your review.
You'll probably get it in the next week or so.
Specifically, we'd be honored if you would endorse our book.
The endorsers we are targeting are a blue chip group, and we feel your perspective would add a great deal.
Thanks in advance, and feel free to give me a shout if you have any questions.

Hi Jeff.
I am Mike's brother, Ronnie, living in San Diego and a member of the San Diego Chapter of YPO.
With all the propaganda being spread about the electricity and energy crisis we are experiencing here in California, I thought it would be worthwhile to invite you to town to give us an insider's view on what is really going on (aka, the "truth").
Is there anyway you can find time in your busy schedule to visit us over dinner with a short talk and a question and answer period.
The sooner the better.
I will schedule a "special" meeting of our chapter to accommodate any dates that work for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Jeff, My sister is a Vice President for JPMorgan Chase Bank, and she supervises construction and management of new buildings in Texas.
She sent me the following note regarding Enron Energy Services' handling of their utility bills: "On another note: Enron handles the utility bills for JPMorganChase Bank on a national basis, including Texas.
We are building a call center in San Antonio, and the City of San Antonio (municipal electric) wants to charge us a $50,000 deposit for new power because 11 out of the last 12 payments made by Enron have been late, and late fees have been paid.
I am now going to do an analysis on all of my regions.
I would like a local Enron contact, if one exists.
Any ideas?"
Whom in Enron should I tell her to contact?

Mr. Awano, Per your recent request to Dr. Kitatani, we have contacted Mr. Idei's Office to find out his travel plans to the US in June.
Unfortunately, we were informed that he is currently not scheduled to be out in the West Coast in June, and therefore, will not be able to meet with Mr. Skilling at this time.
However, we were also informed by Mr. Idei's Office that he would be more than happy to meet with Mr. Skilling during his next visit to Tokyo.
Therefore, please keep us posted on any future travel plans to Tokyo that Mr. Skilling may have so that we may assist you accordingly.
Thank you and should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.

Hello Jeff, the purpose for this message is to bring attention to my firm, SDL International.
Big admirer of what Enron and you have done in the broadband sector and would like to prove the value of my firm to Enron.
SDL is by far, one of the largest, market leaders in the Globalization industry for Fortune 500 companies who must have a global presence via the web to their targeted customers.
SDL is based in the UK, (US HQ in Plano, TX), with offices in over 26 countries and employing over 730.
We are publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, been in business for 10 years and the only vendor in this space that is profitable.
I'd like to speak with you or a direct report about the potential of working with Enron for your globalization needs.
Certainly you understand the extreme difficulties and expense you may face in maintaining consistent content and branding across your multiple, multi-lingual websites.
SDL is a leading globalization infrastructure and services firm that can streamline those issues while positively impacting the bottom line.
Our services span from Internationalization (both web and software), technology (Webflow and ETS), professional services and worldwide translation services, all developed and orchestrated to work as a single, seamless effort.
Surely Enron handles alot of this already but could the current process be made more cost effective as well as expediting or increasing international revenue from foreign markets?
SDL also offers ETS, a real time translation product that allows for instant, multi lingual messaging, email, web based customer support, etc...
Product currently has a significant installed base of clients, in particular, a joint effort between EDS and the FAA for global emails to pilots and airports, as well as being used at Lucent as an internal communications tool.
Again, this type of technology would be use solely for content/info.
one would not normally localize or translate.
ETS Webflow, which will further seperate us from the other static in the Globalization industry.
I look forward to any suggestions you may have on how and with whom to proceed further with.
Thanks again for your time and have a great day.

It was determined by a vote of the Forum Moderators at our meeting May 8th to form a new Forum (Forum VIII).
This decision was based on the current Forum membership (81); the number of new members wishing to participate; and the number of prospective members currently in process.
The new Forum affords a unique opportunity for existing members.
In an effort to blend the experience of new members with seasoned Forum members, we are looking for the following: a) A member who wishes to change Forums b) Current Forum member having 3 years or less eligibility remaining in YPO who would like to help mentor an additional Forum.
We are considering that this may give a member the opportunity to interact with other Houston YPOers or perhaps re-invigorate an individual's Forum experience.
If you have any interest, please contact me by May 22nd.
Please know that all questions, thoughts, or expressions of interest will be held by me in strict confidence.
By way of process, the new Forum will participate in the draw with the other Forums who have indicated they need members.
They will select first in the order.
We trust that this process will give the new Forum an immediate opportunity to be successful.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Attendees: AT&T: David Dorman, President of AT&T (bio points below) Enron: Jeff Skilling, Stewart Seeligson, David Cox Adventis: Partha Ghosh, Andy Belt and Mark Bruneau (via telephone) Background: As you well know, over the last 9 months EBS has made substantial efforts to establish a significant commercial relationship with AT&T.
Thus far, there have been no transactions between EBS and AT&T other than a couple dozen of circuit purchases by us mostly local loop.
Previously, our primary senior point of contact with AT&T has been Frank Ianna (President of Network Services).
It is probable that Ianna brought only the typical legacy perspective which prevented him from seeing how we could facilitate the AT&T business from a wholesale relationship.
They seemed to only want to sell us services.
Adventis advises us that Ianna now reports to David Dorman and that Dorman should be able to better understand the value that EBS can bring to further his business objectives.
It is my understanding that it will only be Dorman at the meeting (he is supposedly not bringing Ianna).
I view this meeting as a worthwhile shot to see if it is worth pursuing AT&T at all for the balance of the year for a big transaction.
Dorman's positive receptability to us is the only reason I can see to spend significant resources on AT&T in the near future.
EBS - AT&T History Jun 2000 EES sponsored Executive Briefing with focus on EES and EBS - attendants include Frank Ianna from AT&T.
Oct 2000 - Extensive EBS team meets with extensive AT&T team to set up eight tactical and strategic working teams to find opportunities for the companies to build a bilateral commercial relationship.
After three weeks, results were presented to executive committee of both teams.
Nothing materializes.
Potential Opportunities AT&T currently spends a significant amount each year (expected to be in the $100s of millions) on offnet services (wholesale expenses) .
EBS would like AT&T to allocate a potion of the purchases towards EBS.
Adventis states there are currently numerous major undertakings by AT&T which are transforming the telecommunications operations at AT&T.
Is there not something EBS could do to help advance these undertakings?
At a minimum we would like AT&T to interconnect to our pooling points.
Final Note I do not think we should lead with trading.
We should lead with our ability to provide services to the wholesale sector of the industry.
The typical reaction we get from incumbent players is that if they don't trade or if they think that trading puts downward pressure on prices, then they should not do business with Enron.
They need to understand that they don't need to trade to have a valuable business relationship with Enron Bio Points on David Darmon Received a bachelors degree in Industrial Management from Georgia Institute of Technology Became the 55th employee at Sprint Rose quickly to become the president of Sprint Business and grew it from $5 million to $4.5 billion in revenue with 10,000 employees.

Hello Jeff A voice from the past.
Hope you are doing well.
I wanted to gain your assistance to point me to the most appropriate person I could interview at Enron.
I am helping a client understand how companies in the US Natural Gas and Power industry are coping with the challenges in their industry in terms of developing and retaining the "right skills".
So, someone who could provide an external perspective of how players in the industry are coping with the challenges as well as an internal perspective on Enron would be great for me to interview.
If that means more than one individual, that is fine too.
Hope this is not too much of an imposition.
I'll undertake the conversation over the telephone and keep it short.

I spoke with Oscar Wyatt this afternoon on Crown and subsequently to Tom Bachtell, an attorney in Utah who is attempting to organize shareholders to replace existing management.
Crown has an asphalt oil sand production facility in northeast Utah and an asphalt distribution company.
Bachtell owns about 4-5% of the stock.
Mr. Wyatt indicated he had a "small" holding.
I indicated that we would consider any proposal that might result in salvaging some value from this investment.
We hold convertible preferred and a small amount of common at an original cost of $5.5 million in 1997.
Fully converted, our ownership would be approximately 25%.
The Company has a net deficit of $21 million and a "going concern" paragraph in its audit opinion.
We have written down our carrying value to nil.
The Company in engaged in an arbitration proceeding against MCN Energy and MCNIC Pipeline.
MCNIC has interests in the asphalt assets and is a lender to Crown.
MCNIC attempted to foreclose on certain Crown assets and Crown in turn counter-sued for $100 million.
The arbitration hearing will be held July 23 - August 10.
If Crown obtained an award from the arbitration, some value could be restored to our investment.
We will get further information from Bachtell on the details of his plans and recommend what position Enron should take in this matter.

Dear Ken: This note builds on the earlier voice mail, and a memorandum I have sent to you, following the Dave Dorman meeting.
Given the initial ground work done by our team at ATT leadership level, the meeting between Jeff and David Dorman, we think did go as expected by us.
I am sure Dave and Stewart, along with Jeff have shared their views of the meeting, and do feel positive about the process forward.
Our take on the meeting is as follows: 1.
Dave Dorman is open and eager to explore ways ATT and Enron could cooperate across the board.
2.
Dave wants to move fast, but at a pace that will work within ATT, and is strategically sound for both the organizations 3.
He is now looking forward to specific value propositions from Enron-Adventis team, which he is prepared to discuss with us.
4.
On that basis I am sure he will guide us to the most appropriate guys within ATT who will need to understand and act on the value propositions.
In view of the above the real work begins now.
As discussed with Dave and Stewart, we will further reinforce our commitment to develop, and take the basic proposals with ATT forward.
Our team is already on the job and will meet with Stewart early this week.
I did indicate to both Dave and Stewart that we will like to take the next steps in a most expeditious and matured fashion so that all the strategic possibilities to create the new bandwidth dynamics between the two companies could be achieved.
Given that there were some hesitation within Enron on the out come of the first meeting with ATT, we committed to the last 2.5 weeks of work with a reduced fee structure.
Now that the first major step has been successfully taken, we plan to work with you along our normal professional fee schedule.
As we do want to move as fast as possible and if at any point indications are that the desired out come will be difficult to achieve we could stop and review progress.
As a result, although not common, we are willing to work with a weekly rate, adjusted to professional fees of $75,000/week and out of pocket expenses.
In addition of course for an engagement of this nature which essentially leverages our firms professional credibility and trust in the industry, our clients pay us on the basis of successful execution of the alliance formation along preset milestones.
Given the strategic nature of this engagement, and our commitment to assist you with all the major Telcos, -- incumbents and new, we will welcome to

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one.
I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.
Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car.
I stole it.
Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right.
But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir.
That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.
Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain.
The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation: Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure.
Here it is.
It was valid.
Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer.
Here's the owner' card.
The driver owned the car.
Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.
Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk?
I was told you said there's body in it.
Driver: No problem.
Trunk is opened; no body.
Captain: I don't understand it.
The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!

Some questions in advance of the 42nd floor meeting on the 16th: Do you expect the current crisis in California will result in an "overbuilt" situation for the pipelines serving California, similar to 1993-94?

Do you expect the situation in India to be resolved to our satisfaction?
What is your projection for year-end stock price?

Mr. Skilling, I wanted to make you aware of the fact that I was leaving NewPower.
My last day at NewPower should be in the week to come.
Foremost, I wanted to thank you for the time you have given me while I was at Enron and NewPower.
This past year at NewPower has been a very intense and intellectually lucrative learning experience, which have brought me many skills.
My experience at both companies has been wonderful, fruitful and exciting.
I was glade to see that the NewPower/Enron Employee program faired well.
Best continuation, as President & CEO of Enron Corp and to your family.
Will look forward to the chance of meeting with you again.

Hi Jeff: Survived my trip back and a week alone with the kiddies while Nina was out at her conference in Corsica.
Just got notified that the first film I sent off to shutterfly is available.
There are some really great photos from the wedding day.
I'm sending you the link (by separate email) if you're interested and will make copies of the likely photos for you and rebecca once I've gotten all the rolls processed.
If you see any in particular that you like, let me know and I'll get copies made of those too.
(There's a really good one of the two of you with Shukran!)
I really enjoyed hanging out with both of you and am looking forward to seeing you one of these days in SF.
I don't have rebecca's email.
Please sent her my love.

Hi Jeff, I am following up on a confidential manuscript I sent you a few days ago of "Digital Storm - Fresh business strategies from the Electronic Marketplace".
Is is a book about B2B E-Commerce and E-Markets after the hype.
It will be distributed by Wiley this summer as an A+ title (lead category) and Hasso Plattner, CEO of SAP wrote the preface.
Enron is featured as the most successful marketplace to date with a bright future.
I was wondering, whether you would like to include a testimonial for the book.
It would certainly also be good marketing for Enron's entry into new marketplaces.
For your convenience I include a potential quote: Running the world's largest electronic marketplace, we embrace the opportunities and challenges of B2B E-Commerce.
In 'Digital Storm' Philipp Gerbert and his colleagues give a powerful analysis of what has been learnt and invaluable insights for future strategies in this area.
(you can of course write what you want; more ideas are in the attachment, which also contains additional information).
I apologize that this is a bit urgent - the deadline is Friday this week May 18th).
I very much hope that you enjoy the manuscript.
Perhaps you would be interested to further discuss the ideas.
Best regards, Phil Gerbert

I am forwarding this message which I received yesterday for your review and action.
Imagine the chilling effect that a tax would have on the exchange of nostalgia that has been taking place between the brethren.
Even if you don't participate directly it has been a pleasure to watch.
My name is Starkey Sharp.
I graduated in 1974.
I don't remember my number, but I think it was around 504.
Federal Bill 602p Guess the warnings were true.
Federal Bill 602P 5-cents per E-mail sent.
It figures!
No more free E-mail!
We knew this was coming!!
Bill 602P will permit the Federal Government to charge a 5-cent charge on every delivered E-mail.
Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and continue using E-mail.
The last few months have revealed an alarming trend in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly push through legislation that will affect our use of the Internet.
Under proposed legislation, the US Postal Service will be attempting to bill E-mail users out of "alternative postage fees."
Bill 602P will permit the Federal Government to charge a 5-cent surcharge on every e-mail delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source.
The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP.
Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this legislation from becoming law.
The US Postal Service is claiming lost revenue, due to the proliferation of E-mail, is costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year.
You may have noticed their recent ad campaign: "There is nothing like a letter."
Since the average person received about 10 pieces of E-mail per day in 1998, the cost of the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents a day --

I want to document my appreciation for your efforts and attitude during this incident.
You showed compassion and moved quickly to resolve the issue.
There was no hesitation on April's part to make loans to Jenny and me.
Compensatory efforts have resulted in April taking Jenny and me to lunch, Amy initiating and funding another lunch for us and Dave Parquet mandating us four hours pay for waiting at home on a Saturday to recieve replacement checks via Fedex that turned out to be non-negotiable.
I have cc'd Jeff Skilling because I believe he needs to know that he has very efficient and compassionate people working for Enron.
April, Amy and Cristina, thank you for being yourselves.

Jeff, Judy Lay Allen, an associate of yours on the Federal Reserve board, spoke with Joannie Williamson today regarding my desire to interview at Enron.
I am a graduate of Princeton University with two years experience in financial modeling and communications.
Towards assessing my skill set relative to peers, I took and received a 740 on my GMAT.
I have also interned in a gas exploration company and am familiar with the industry; likewise, I have worked with clients in telecommunications and am aware of the work Enron is doing in the bandwidth trading/pooling field.
I am aware of Enron's executive training/business analyst programs and am highly interested in exploring opportunities therein.
I am in Houston through Friday evening and, given the short notice, would be grateful for any opportunity to meet with the appropriate person any time Thursday or Friday.
I look forward to interviewing and applying my experience at Enron.

Jeff, I am headed to Istanbul & the Greek Isles for vacation in late June.
I happened to be talking with Rebecca who indicated that you guys had just gotten back from Istanbul for a wedding & that you have a brother that lives there.
We will be in Istanbul for only 3 days & want to make the best use of time possible.
I think that Rebecca mentioned that you knew of a private guide that we might be able to book for full or half days.
I would love to do that & wondered if you might have the name & phone number of the guide.
Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on what there is to do & if you have any restaurant recomendations.
We are staying at the same hotel that you & Rebecca just stayed at & it will be the first time in Istanbul for both of us.
Jeff, thanks in advance for your insight & help!!!
