WPO Forum - June 11, 2001
Dad, I know this has been more difficult than I can conceive, so I did what every good seminary student should and looked for something that might help a little. Solomon, when he was made king, asked only for wisdom and God gave it to him as well as many other blessings. The wisdom, as you well know, helped him to be a...

Good Morning All, As a matter of information, I am forwarding the below attached document. Please give us a call, should you need us. Thank!! <<organization Changes.doc>>
Organizational Change
Mr. Lay, as an employee about to enter his 18th year with Enron, I am deeply concerned about the situation our company is currently in. Although I have every confidence that we will recover, could I respectfully ask that employees be given a daily update on what steps are being taken to reverse the trend that the compa...
Our company's situation
Mr. Lay- I am a long-term Enron employee and have shared your vision of building Enron for over 10 years. It has been exciting being a part of building the World's Largest Energy Company. I am concerned about the short term turn of events at Enron but still feel loyal and committed to Enron and your vision. Unfortunat...

Dear Mr. Lay, Greetings from Canada.

Please indicate if you are interested in this proposal. If not, what is your pla...

October 30, 2001 Ken, With every article I read concerning Enron, I think of you and the obstacles you surmounted in the mid-80s. If you need help in the Public Affairs arena, my timing is perfect.

Dear Dr. Lay, President Putin is coming to Rice on November 14th.

Although not confirmed, it is anticipated that 41 will also...

I just wanted to let you know that if there is anything I can do to help I am more than willing to do it. These are difficult times and I am doing alot of floor meetings and table talks with the employees. They clearly do not understand how we got into this situation and just want some face time with Management. With t...
Difficult times
Dear Dr. Lay: As a stockholder, I am as upset as you, most Enron employees and other co-shareholders are given Enron's recent performance due to questionable management by scrupulous officers at Enron. As an ex-employee, I have seen many signs of a major collapse, given the fact that Enron's values (such as Respect, I...

Mr. Lay, It was brought up in a floor meeting this morning that you are probably receiving a lot of negative feedback. Well I would like to offer my positive support.

If there is anything you want me to discuss with him, please advise. Take care and good luck on bringing Enron back to the place where we belong in the ...
The Williams Companies
Mr Lay, To suggest that I am merely disappointed by Enron's performance in both the public markets and the broader corporate universe is an understatement. Enron is at a crossroads with one path leading to irrelevance assigned to companies unable to rise in the face of crisis, and the other path being reserved for thos...

Ken, In the midst of all the criticism of the company and noise from all sides, I wanted to let you know I think of you often, reflect on the occasions when I have been at the table as you sorted through difficult situations and have the utmost confidence in your ability to do so again. Let me know if there is anythin...

Dear Dr. Ken Lay - It was my pleasure to meet you during the WCS cermony in New York earlier this year during which Enron received the award for the work we have done in Bolivia with the WCS and other NGOs.

Please feel free to call me a...

Ken - As a follow-up, we realize there has been tremendous downward pressure on the stock recently and as a result selling new equity at these levels could be very dilutive.

Hello Ken As we have not had a recent "daily update" from you - I write inquiring about the status of OUR company.
