Vasant, Thanks. Let's contact Wharton next week. Vince From: Vasant Shanbhogue/ENRON@enronXgate on 04/25/2001 10:15 AM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Nelson Neale/NA/Enron@Enron Subject: Corn Subsidy Govt Program Analysis Hi Vince, Nelson and I had a meeting yesterday with the Ag Desk folks on how to go forward on the analysis and presentation for this program. The consensus from the Ag side was that the choice of university will be highly politically driven, ie preferably the university should be from a state that has close ties to sympathetic senators or other political figures. Also it is preferable if the university faculty have worked on Ag issues before, lending more credibility in the Ag community. The names that came up were Mississippi State and Texas A&M. Nelson knows of a person at Mississippi State who worked with the USDA on risk management issues. The needed analysis itself is not necessarily very deep, and the focus is primarily to get a non-quantitative presentation out that outlines how Enron can take on the downside risk of local crop prices (Enron probably needs to cover actual local prices and not simply an index because I do not think the govt will want to worry about basis risk). The pilot program itself will be very small, and lends itself to continuing down the path of short term trading rather than long term origination. Another thought on hedging our potential short positon (on the origination side) is that the govt program can only provide a partial hedge to the extent of the premium received -- we still have unlimited downside from the short. Vasant p.s. I am writing up Jim Bouillion's project suggestion as a potential project for Wharton. Of course, we may still ask Wharton for their insights on the corn price protection approach.

Date: April 27 - April 29 Location: Breckenridge, Colorado As you know, John Griebling is managing the network design and construction project currently under way in EBS. The Research Group is actively involved in this effort which requires advanced quantitative skills in the area of stochastic optimization and stochastic processes (for modeling and forecasting Internet traffic flows). The objective of this meeting is to develop common language and accomplish transfer of skills between the two groups, to facilitate cooperation on this project in the future. We are also inviting to this off-site senior management of EBS and plan to have on the agenda several presentations about strategic directions of EBS. The effort of network design and construction currently under way is unprecedented in terms of its scope and complexity and it is important for technical people, who often have highly specialized technical skills, to understand the broad picture. I would appreciate if you could join us for Friday afternoon (April 28) and Saturday (April 29). I understand that you have commitments on Thursday and Friday morning. We have reorganized the tentative agenda of the meeting to devote Friday afternoon to more general topics. Vince
Joe, Thanks for your message. It would be difficult to rearrange the meeting at this point, given that it was timed around the availability of Jeff Skilling. I doubt we could get Jeff for any other date at this point. We can still adjust the agenda to discuss and address the Content Services issues. I shall work on this with John and Ravi.

While the date of my request is later than I would have wished, the reason is that I had originally planned to go back to Turkey this summer and get my mandatory military duty done. However, I now realize I can put it off to a further date. That left me wondering if you believe there is a project that I can get involved in this summer and be useful. If that were the case, I would be more than happy to postpone my military duty and spend the summer with the research group. I discussed this with Dr. Ronn, and he is very supportive of this idea. I apologize again for bringing up this issue late, and look forward to hearing from you.

I have been continuing my research in the area of pricing, risk management and asset management of power industry. It seems to me that the framework I have been working on does allow addressing some fundamental issues and allows describing the salient features of power markets. I feel a brief info may inform you what have I been up to. Conceptually speaking, my approach relies on the understudying that the absence of cash and carry implies non-hedgibility of the most fundamental building blocks of power market - forward contracts of hourly duration. This clearly demands a risk premium embedded in power prices. I have been able to develop a machinery to capture this risk premium, and calculate its impact on pricing of other products. In particular, the method allows consistent generation of hourly forward curve (per each geographic region), hence generation of forward curves of longer duration. It provides us not only with forward curves, but also their physical (not risk-neutral) distribution. It also allows one to analyze the sensitivity of the forward curve with respect to the volumetric risk. As a fundamental input , I consider the ratio of properly compounded generation output (load) and the corresponding maximum available generation supply. The first one is well observable and forecastable due to its stationarity. The second one is defined by the first one and the generation and transmission profile of the region. Much of the required information is in the public domain. The market price of risk incorporated in the model depends on this ratio and the calendar time. This time dependence of the market price of risk allows capturing of the dynamics of the returns per unit risk over time, and its dependence on the ratio mentioned above reflects the intuition and the reality that closer the demand to the maximum available supply higher compensation do the investors expect. I have also realized that the transmission related factors may be incorporated into this framework in a very consistent and robust manner. This approach also allows quantification of the margins as a stochastic process dependent on the volumetric factors, among other things. It allows posing and solving the problem of maximization of the margins while keeping their variance under control in a very elegant and robust way. I have developed the first version of mathematical tools and prototype software reflecting all these issues. My inability to complete this program has been resulted from the severe instability, lack of access and the cash flow problems I have experienced in the last few years. I have also understood that programs of this magnitude cannot be finished from the "grandpa's garage." Nevertheless, I think I have developed a very systematic and robust understanding and methodology, and at least, I have convinced myself that this approach leads to a comprehensive system. With all this said, I don't want to make an impression of a stiff person, who has his agenda and under any circumstances is willing to push it forward. I have always been very flexible, and in my consulting experience, I have always accommodated the needs and wishes on my clients. In my short period of employment with Altra I have been very ethical, I have played by the rules, I have done whatever I have been asked to do, and have been a team player. The reasons they have asked me to resign have nothing to do with me personally. They have been respectful to me, they have valued me as capable person, but have found that given the direction of the company (which has become self-evident with the consequent developments), "further Altra goes, further I will be frustrated with where they go." It was almost formulated that it is better for me to separate from Altra as soon as I can. As an evidence of appreciation, they have continued paying me as of today, something that they have not done for some others, but it is coming to its end, too. I am bringing this up just to reiterate that my separation from Altra has had nothing to do with me or my entrepreneurial working style vs. corporate style, etc. I have no doubts that I can function equally well in either environment. I wish that your presentation goes well with your new superior, and that my joining Enron becomes a possibility. Regards, Martin - martin.doc

One of the people in the group here has asked me to introduce him to you.? As an El Paso vice president, I should not have agreed to do this, and frankly, the guy should not have asked.? But he is clearly very unhappy at El Paso, so, as a human being, I felt it was appropriate. Also, because this guy would have contacted you anyway, with or without my introduction, as a professional courtesy, I would like you to benefit from my experience with this fellow. ? The guy's name is Joao Neves (Portugese).? I think he is reasonably bright and seems to have a quite deep understanding of general finance and financial mathematics. He is a manager and feels very frustrated because he had hoped to be promoted to a position of authority. Instead the group's M.D. brought in two Price-Waterhouse-Coopers consultants as V.P's to run the structuring and quant sides of the group. In this respect, I can understand his unhappiness. Unfortunately for him, however, I also think it is in his nature to whine.? I have observed him to bad mouth lots of people starting with the IT guys (ok, that's perhaps not much an indictment!) all the way to dismissing Broadie & Glasserman's or Eduardo Schwartz' works as shoddy or shallow.? He does not seem to suffer well people he considers fools.? Caveat Emptor, therefore! Having said all this, I do want to emphasize that he is a bright guy, is very pleasant with me, and, perhaps given the appropriate environment and supervision, might be quite productive.? But don't take my word for it. Talk to him, and see what you think.? Obviously, I would ask that you keep these comments in confidence. I have given you an honest assessment -- brutally so. ? 'Nuff said! I have fulfilled my moral obligations both to Joao and to you. ? Best Regards, Grant.

Per yesterday's morning report, the bill includes a plan in which the utilities would issue stock warrants in exchange for financial assistance from the state. The bill will be subject to attacks from consumer groups, which will slow its passage. Timing is crucial because of the February 7th deadline for the FERC emergency order and the February 13th deadline for debt forbearance. The bill also contains little detail about costs. The cost of the bailout cannot be determined until the final auction results are known and the utilities reach a deal with Davis with respect to the share of outstanding debt that must be paid by the parent companies of the utilities. Sources report that Davis will insist that at least 43 percent of the outstanding PG&E/SoCal debt should be absorbed by the parent corporations. 1. AB18X- The "Bailout" Bill There are a number of key problems with AB18X. The bill is being presented by its drafters as a "work in progress." The current bill is likely to be significantly different next week after consumer groups blast it in committee hearings and in the press. Also, the fiscal effect of the bill is listed as "unknown", because the costs of the long-term contracts being bid upon in the auction are not yet known. Moreover, the audit of the utilities and its recommendation for the share of utility debt to be paid by the state versus the parent companies is not yet finalized (see below). The industrial users are unhappy with this bill because they will bear the burden of the costs. Approximately 35% of power customers in CA are residential, and another approximately 10% are commercial or users with emergency status; this means that half or more of all power customers in CA will benefit from price controls on their power. This, in turn, leaves the large industrial customers footing the bill. They are saying that this may result in job losses and may even give them incentive to leave the state. The State of California is talking about issuing revenue bonds to pay off the utilities, debt. There is an important but subtle difference between these and general obligation bonds, which draw from tax revenues and assets to pay debt. Revenue bonds draw from the revenue gained from actually using something. For example, a stadium developer might issue revenue bonds to pay for a new stadium, then make revenue from the team that uses the stadium. How will that work in the case of the utilities? There is no guarantee that there will be positive revenue to pay back the bonds. California,s interruptible power contracts have a 100-hour/year limit. Most of those contracts are at or near that limit and will become firm power contracts. This removes another option for finding power. 2. The Audit: Many of the details in AB18X are subject to the results of the audit and the power auction. Governor Davis has commissioned a study which shows that 43 percent of the PG&E and SoCal Edison debt is owed to their parent companies. He views this as the minimum acceptable percentage that the parent companies should contribute to a bailout. The companies cannot simply eat the cost of their inter-company debt. They do not have the cash to do so. The question becomes, if the subsidiaries, bills are not paid, will they be forced to go into bankruptcy? 3. The Auction: As told by us to some of you yesterday afternoon and as reported by the Wall Street Journal this morning, the low bids that have been announced from Wednesday,s auction are based on off-peak power. This is why they are so low. It is estimated that if Davis were to include off-peak power, the bids would be closer to 9.5 cents per kilowatt hour. Governor Davis is not disclosing the "true bid price" because to do so would not be "in the public interest." While they legally can keep the auction terms secret, this makes an excellent bluff to try to get other power providers to bid lower for peak power. Since the real cost of power is higher than the auction price is making it appear, this means that there may actually be little or no margin between where the state buys power and where the utilities sell it. No margin would mean no funds to pay down utility debt. 4. The Rest of the West The federal order for other states to supply CA with power requires Oregon and Washington to draw down their own reservoirs. The people of OR and WA are understandably upset about this. It is not clear how much longer this can continue, as reservoir levels continue to drop. The problem is the drought impacting the entire Northwest is not getting any better even as Washington and Oregon hydroelectric plants dump water through their dams to keep the lights on this winter. Officials in these states are now bracing for electricity surcharges that could hit 50% by mid-summer and increase the casualties on the dot-com laden killing field. Cities from Seattle to Tacoma and beyond are already passing legislation that scales in electricity surcharges that high and more. Seattle raised prices by 10% the first of January, with a further, emergency 18% increase is set to pass the city council on Monday. And city political officials warn that another 25% increase would be in effect by mid-summer -- unless the federal government agrees to plans by the western governors to request an emergency price cap for the summer. Although the Clinton administration and Bush administration steadfastly refused to impose such a price cap when Governor Davis requested it many times in the last month, western governors told our sources that they hope the political and economic considerations will change by late spring. "Although FERC head Hebert is a free-market freak," one government official told our sources, "this is very different than the price cap request California made. First, you could legitimately say California's problems stem from their screwed up de-regulation plan. But the west's problems this summer stem from a drought, and that is significantly different. Second, the Bush administration may want to punish Davis with thoughts of 2004 presidential politics in their head, but that will not apply to all of us across the Northwest and Southwest. We have a lot of Republicans on the hook here. Third, even if you think damage to the US economy from California's troubles won't be that great, the damage of 50% energy surcharges rolling across the entire western United States from Arizona to Washington has to get Bush's -- or at least Cheney's -- attention." There is almost no snowpack in most of the northwest, according to these officials, so the usual rebuilding of water reserves necessary to generate electricity will not occur. Add to that the fact Northwest dams are being run harder than usual to keep up with the maxed-out energy demands across the west ,and you have the makings of a mid-summer economic disaster. "The reservoir behind Grand Coulee dam (the country's largest) is dropping at a foot a day since New Year's and there is no sign of that slowing," one official told our sources.

It is my pleasure to invite you to speak at Energy & Power Risk Management Magazine Conferences' new event, Australian Energy 2000, addressing the second Industry Briefing - "Learning from US experience: Lessons to be learned from the restructuring North American markets". I appreciate that you are speaking a lot for us at the moment (for which I am of course grateful) but, when researching, yours was a name that came up repeatedly as someone the market would like to hear from. I am hoping that perhaps you might need to see Paul Quilkey at some point in July and that we can provide you with another reason to cross the globe. Rather like the industry briefing that you are giving at Power 2000 this year in Houston, this address will be presented to the entire conference before breaking into their streams. Australian Energy 2000 will take a focused look at the latest problems facing energy players, with the two in-depth streams I mentioned above: one dedicated to energy pricing and trading and the other looking at risk management and the latest business issues. This conference will be of the highly technical level that people have come to expect from EPRM events, and I am very keen to encourage participation from speakers in modifying the programme to suit the audience and issues at hand. If you have any suggestions or comments on the programme, please let me know; any help would be gratefully received. This event will be thoroughly marketed through both Energy & Power Risk Management Magazine and our extensive database. It is my aim to attract the leading market players by providing a first-class programme with top-rated speakers, making this a highly worthwhile event for the energy industry. I have attached a copy of the programme for your information. Unfortunately my schedule for this event is very tight. Please let me know if you would like to participate by reurn email as it is unlikely that we can speak on the phone as I am currently based in Hong Kong. If you would like to send a colleague, then I would be happy to discuss this but it would be great if you could complete the EPRM grand slam by addressing our three major annual events on three different continents! I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Joel Hanley Producer, EPRM Conferences & Courses - AustralianEnergy2000.doc __________________ EPRM Conferences Risk Publications Hong Kong Tel: 852 2545 2710 Fax: 852 2545 7317 www.riskpublications.com

Rick, I read your memo regarding Global Risk Management Initiative. I am sending you the information regarding a related initiative on which I have been working last year and which is moving now into the implementation stage. It's Enterprise - Wide Risk Management and it's really an effort to measure business risks consistently across the company. I hope my group can be helpful in designing the general approach to this problem. Please, let me know what your thoughts are. Vince Enron North America Corp. From: Rick Causey @ ENRON 01/17/2000 06:04 PM Sent by: Enron Announcements@ENRON To: All Enron Worldwide cc: Subject: Global Risk Management Operations Recognizing Enron,s increasing worldwide presence in the wholesale energy business and the need to insure outstanding internal controls for all of our risk management activities, regardless of location, a global risk management operations function has been created under the direction of Sally W. Beck, Vice President. In this role, Sally will report to Rick Causey, Executive Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. Sally,s responsibilities with regard to Global Risk Management Operations will mirror those of other recently created Enron global functions. In this role, Sally will work closely with all Enron geographic regions and wholesale companies to insure that each entity receives individualized regional support while also focusing on the following global responsibilities: 1. Enhance communication among risk management operations professionals. 2. Assure the proliferation of best operational practices around the globe. 3. Facilitate the allocation of human resources. 4. Provide training for risk management operations personnel. 5. Coordinate user requirements for shared operational systems. 6. Oversee the creation of a global internal control audit plan for risk management activities. 7. Establish procedures for opening new risk management operations offices and create key benchmarks for measuring on-going risk controls. Each regional operations team will continue its direct reporting relationship within its business unit, and will collaborate with Sally in the delivery of these critical items. The Houston-based risk management operations team under Sue Frusco,s leadership, which currently supports risk management activities for South America and Australia, will also report directly to Sally. Sally retains her role as Vice President of Energy Operations for Enron North America, reporting to the ENA Office of the Chairman. She has been in her current role over Energy Operations since 1997, where she manages risk consolidation and reporting, risk management administration, physical product delivery, confirmations and cash management for ENA,s physical commodity trading, energy derivatives trading and financial products trading. Sally has been with Enron since 1992, when she joined the company as a manager in Global Credit. Prior to joining Enron, Sally had four years experience as a commercial banker and spent seven years as a registered securities principal with a regional investment banking firm. She also owned and managed a retail business for several years. Please join me in supporting Sally in this additional coordination role for global risk management operations.

I appreciate your words. Everything remains fine, Vince. You are my "father" here at Enron, and I admire and respect you greatly. I think I know the kind of person you are, in terms of your integrity, and I admire the high standards you set for all of us in your extended "Group." I want to let you know I am not the only one in the group who doesn't appreciate the way Maureen disrespects you. You remain the key external factor in their success- it is not simply their own abilities that matter to their futures but your own- Vince's- success with upper management that matters. We respect you, and we don't like it when you are disrespected. Maureen didn't disrespect me today, Vince, she disrespected you. It's time I told you something. Last April, Maureen, highly intoxicated following a work-related function at Ninfa's, made an unsolicited predatory sexual advance on me at my desk on the 19th floor. I was shocked and disgusted, but I didn't say one word about this, Vince, because I played it out and didn't want to put you into the position of having a raving Maureen in your midst as you perhaps had to fire her and then endure a litany of gender-bias crap lawsuits. I "took one for the team," Vince. I can'rt say I would do it again- Maureen is brazen to berate me after what she did, in public no less. I appreciate your bringing me into Enron. I've found a respectful and, indeed, a loving work environment. I remain willing to do whatever I can to help the Group. Clayton

Based on where Europe is marked (especially for the UK), I think we'll find a significant difference out beyond 10 years. Fundamentally, it seems like the long-term vol should be similar for a given commodity regardless of geographic location. Has Research done any work on this in the past? If not, we should study this since long-term vol feeds into the VAR-based position limits. Give me a call so we can discuss. Thanks Dale
---------------------- Forwarded by Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT on 12/17/99 03:17 PM --------------------------- Enron North America Corp. From: Enron NA Office of the Chairman 12/16/99 10:22 AM To: All Enron North America cc: Subject: Revised: Organizational Changes To: Enron North America Corp. From: Cliff Baxter and Kevin Hannon In July, as part of the Enron North America (ENA) reorganization, the implementation of several objectives were highlighted as critical to the continued growth of ENA including: 1) accelerate the development of our people, 2) significantly expand our customer network and associated markets, and 3) accelerate and enhance the information flow between groups, both within ENA and across Enron. Consistent with these objectives and with the corporate goal of fostering &One Enron8, we would like to announce the following organizational changes in the Coverage/Origination Groups and the Commercial Transactions Group within ENA. 1) Coverage/Origination: To ensure a consistent strategy, the free flowing of resources and product technology and the appropriate focus in the midstream and downstream businesses, the following coverage/origination groups will be consolidated under the leadership of Dave Delainey : a) the Eastern and Western U.S. Midstream Coverage/ Origination groups which focus on energy, finance and power development solutions for electric and gas utilities, municipals, co-ops, energy service companies and IPP,s; b) the Downstream Coverage/Origination groups which focus on delivering a broad range of products and services to the heavy industrial customers including pulp and paper, chemicals, plastics, refined products, metals and mining, heavy manufacturing, industrial gases, fertilizers, transportation, textiles and glass manufacturing the Eastern and Western U.S. Midstream Coverage/ Origination groups which focus on energy, finance and industries. Downstream Coverage/Origination As energy deregulation continues in North America, it is becoming clear that the heavy industrial segment will be an important customer market for both ENA and Enron Corp. Further, it is clear that ENA can significantly expand its industrial customer network and create more innovative industrial solutions by having a group that can deploy all the capabilities of Enron Corp. Against this backdrop, the Downstream Coverage/Origination function will expand its product offering to include not only ENA,s existing energy commodities, energy services, finance, assets and pulp and paper capabilities but also EES,s energy outsourcing capability and Global Fuel,s chemicals, plastics and refined products risk management capability. These additional capabilities will be offered in conjunction with EES and the Global Fuels groups. Given the size and importance of this Enron initiative, Greg Piper will be returning from Portland to manage this business. Under Greg,s leadership, the Downstream Origination effort will be segmented into three sub-groups given the nature of these industries and our product offering: a) Pulp and Paper ) Edward Ondarza will continue to manage the coverage activities in the Pulp and Paper business. This group will be responsible for the provision of innovative products and services in the pulp and paper industry including the provision of paper risk management products; b) Chemicals, Plastics and Refined Products ) We have asked Jim Ajello to lead the coverage activities in this business. This group will be responsible for the provision of innovative products and services in the chemicals and refined products industries; c) Non-Integrated Industrials ) Bruce Garner, formerly leader of Bankers Trust,s global metals and mining group in London, has joined ENA to lead the coverage activities in this business. This group will be responsible for the provision of innovative products and services for the metals and mining, heavy manufacturing, industrial gases, fertilizers, transportation, textiles and glass manufacturing industries. Midstream Coverage/Origination a) Eastern Coverage/Origination ) This group, activities will focus on energy, finance and power development solutions for electric and gas utilities, municipals, co-ops and energy service companies in the Eastern Interconnect. We have asked Janet Dietrich to assume the leadership of this group; b) Western Coverage/Origination ) This group,s activities will focus on energy, finance and power development solutions for electric and gas utilities, municipals, co-ops and energy service companies in the WSCC. They will also continue to manage all Qualified Facilities (QF) restructuring opportunities in the Western U.S. We have asked Chris Calger to assume the leadership of this coverage group. Chris will relocate to Portland from Calgary where he currently leads the Canadian downstream origination efforts; c) IPP Merchant Coverage/Origination ) This group,s activities will focus on the provision of structured energy, finance and asset solutions for the emerging merchant power generators who control large portfolio,s of merchant power generation either through development or acquisition. We have asked Mike Miller to assume the leadership of this group. In addition, Mike will continue to manage the power development activities in the Eastern Interconnect; d) Eastern QF Restructuring ) This group will focus on the QF restructuring opportunities in the Eastern Interconnect including the existing restructuring and re-capitalization of the East Coast Power assets. We have asked Dave Duran to assume the leadership of this business. Greg Blair, formerly of Enron Asia,s development group, Doug Clifford, formerly of Citizens power, and Dick Lydecker, formerly of Cogen Technology, will join this newly formed business. 2) Commercial Transactions: The Commercial Transactions Group (CTG), co-headed by Ray Bowen and Jeff Donahue, was formed to provide a centralized resource for the execution of transactions within ENA ) and thereby, improve ENA,s efficiency in executing transactions and free-up the origination groups to increase their intensity of client coverage. CTG consists of six primary functions: Transaction Development, Capital Structuring and Portfolio Management, Commodity Structuring and Transportation, Transactional Support/Accounting, Technical Analysis and Upstream Asset Management. The Transaction Development Group will be responsible for deal leadership, execution and optimization of all aspects of a transaction in conjunction with the originator. The function will be divided into four teams, each of which will be dedicated to between two and four origination groups. This dedication to specific groups should provide a closer link, better service and greater accountability with the origination groups; however, the CTG resources are designed to be a fungible and flexible resource allocated to the highest value transactions across the coverage functions: a) Midstream Transaction Development will be dedicated to the Eastern and Western Coverage/Origination Groups. The senior members of this group include Billy Lemmons, George McCormick, Erin Norris and Russ Porter. Billy Lemmons joined Enron in 1992. Most recently, he was the Vice-President of Capital Structuring and Risk Management for EES. Russ Porter joins us today from Dynegy where he was a manager with responsibilities for power origination. b) Downstream Transaction Development will be dedicated to ENA,s industrial origination efforts in Pulp and Paper, Petrochemicals and Refining, Environmental Energy, Metals and Mining and other industries as coverage is established. The senior members of this team include Rodney Malcolm, Jay Boudreaux, Finley Biggerstaff and Chris Helfrich. We anticipate announcing two to four more additions to this team within the next few weeks. c) Generation Transaction Development will be dedicated to the IPP Merchant Services and power plant development and QF Restructuring groups. The senior members of this team include Thomas Suffield, Andy Kelemen, Kelly Mahmoud and John House. Thomas Suffield joined Enron in 1996. Most recently, he was the Vice-President of Origination for the Latin American group in Azurix. We anticipate announcing two more additions to this team within the next few weeks. d) Upstream Transaction Development will be dedicated to the Producer Finance, Coal and Gas Assets groups. The senior members of this team include Brad Dunn, John Curtin and Chris Hilgert. We hope to announce the addition of at least one VP to this group prior to yearend. Ray Bowen will have primary oversight responsibilities for the Upstream and Downstream Transaction Development teams with Jeff Donahue having primary responsibilities for the Midstream and Generation teams. Andrea Reed will continue to head Capital Structuring and Portfolio Management: all junior commercial resources within the Transaction Development teams will have dual responsibilities to both their Transaction Development teams and to the Capital Structuring Group. The remaining four groups within CTG will remain largely unchanged. In addition, the Origination and the Transaction Development teams and their respective origination groups will be located together. We believe that these changes will significantly enhance our market coverage and industry knowledge in all ENA,s markets particularly in the industrial markets. It will also provide a closer partnership and accountability between the Coverage/Origination Groups and the CTG Groups. Please help us in continuing to build on the success we have enjoyed in North America by working with us to implement these changes.

Vince From: Claudio Ribeiro @ ENRON 11/20/2000 05:04 PM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Joseph Hrgovcic/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: MIT Financial Engineering Pro-Seminar Vince, I have received a call from MIT asking if Enron would be interested in sponsoring a Financial Engineering Pro-Seminar. This means that Enron would propose a problem that would have its solution developed by students in the Financial Engineering Track. These students would present the findings in the end. I think that Enron has already sponsored a Financial Engineering Pro-Seminar. I remember something about Real Options at the time I was at school. Please, let me know if Enron has the interest, specifically the Research. Talking here at the Weather Desk, Mark Tawney expressed interest. If you agree, we (the Weather Desk) could co-sponsor this Pro-Seminar with the Research. The idea, then, would be to propose a problem connected to Weather Trading. Please, give me your thoughts about this issue. Thanks, Claudio

The financial trading group is looking at a potential candidate for a general financial trading position in Japan and was wondering if someone from your area wouldn't mind testing this candidates mathematical skills. She has a Masters in Stochastic Mathematics and both a math/liberal arts undergrad. I feel it is important to test her grasp of the subjects she would have studied and know that someone from your area would be best suited in providing some feedback on this. The candidate's name is Yumi Imokawa. If you don't mind, could I please schedule a telephone interview for 20 minutes or so? The ideal time is Tokyo mornings (so for example, at 5:00 in the evening Houston time any day that you are available..I will just have the candidate call your point person directly. Sincerely, Darren

My phone number is (617) 492-9551. I graduated from Princeton University in 1996 (mathematics), and came straight to MIT for a Ph.D. in Operations Management at the Sloan Schoolof Management. In my first three years I took all the required coursework in mathematics, optimization, stochastic processes, etc., as well as a number of courses in psychology (at MIT and Harvard). I am working with Prof. Gabriel Bitran, and I am interested in the mathematical modeling of service operations. In particular, I am interested in the interaction between customers and companies (hence the interest in psychology). The (tentative) title of my PhD thesis is "Pricing Substitute Products on the Internet", and I am sending you the summary which I sent to Tom Gros a few weeks ago that will give you an idea of what this research is about. Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to meeting you and your research group next week. Paulo Pricing Substitute Products on the Internet Objective: To develop new tools to decide pricing policies for goods and services sold on the internet. Motivation: This research is motivated by the fact that traditional choice and optimization models are not appropriate for internet-related businesses. The technological innovations associated with the internet brought about an overload of information which inevitably affects the ways in which consumers make choices. Furthermore, companies have a great deal of influence on how much information consumers can have access to. The problem of pricing substitute products is an important strategic issue faced by internet companies. Consumers usually search for generic products (e.g. VCRs or computers) without knowing exactly what they will buy. Companies can show different products and different prices to each consumer. This type of flexibility was not available until the internet came about. The problem of pricing substitute products is not unique to the internet. The methodology developed by this research should be transferable to a number of other settings, such as pricing services. Services are unique, and there are many cases where customers will only buy one of many services offered by a given company. Our model will help companies decide which services to offer to which customers and how much to charge for these services. Research Strategy: Our research strategy is to divide the pricing problem into two components which can be combined to generate optimal pricing strategies. These components are choice models and optimization models. Choice Models: Choice models describe how customers make choices. The management literature draws on two main sources for these models: psychology and economics. The common approach in psychology models is to use what are called heuristic elimination methods. These methods consist of the elimination of options based on the sequential elimination of features until only one choice remains. These methods tend to be very context-specific and do not lend themselves very easily to mathematical analysis. Economists focus on utility-maximing models that are significantly more mathematically tractable than psychological models. The most common economic model of choice is the logit model. The problem with these types of models is that they are not very accurate reflections of how consumer make choices on the internet. The first step in our research will be to develop choice models that capture the interactions going on between customers and companies on the internet. Optimization: Traditionally, the optimization problem consists of maximizing revenue over a certain planning horizon. On the internet, the problem of maximizing revenue still exists, but there is also a need to learn about customers. Short term profit is based on sales, but long term profit is based on how well you know your customers and are able to retain them. The optimization problem must therefore include a short term component (sales) and a long term component (learning).

My daughter Candice Kao is a freshman at Mount Holyoke College. She has a good quan aptitude and quite meticulous. She is looking for summer intership in Houston.

Dale, Thanks for your message. In our phone conversation before the meeting you mentioned another contractual arrangement under which we could work with your company employees on a case-study. The cost of a weekly project would be $12,000 that would be applied to the purchase price should we go ahead and decide to acquire the software. This project would allow us to evaluate the model and come up with an estimate of the manpower necessary to support the model internally. Please, let me know more about this option. We are primarily interested in a long-term natural gas model and the database for North America. Unless a familiarity with the short term model is a prerequisite, we don't have resources to spend too much time on it. Of course, a trading desk may be interested in the short term version of the model. I shall talk to them about it. Vince "Dale M. Nesbitt" <[email protected]> on 11/13/2000 06:00:05 PM To: <[email protected]>, "Vince. J. Kaminski" <[email protected]> cc: Subject: MarketPoint License Agreement John/Vince: I really enjoyed the meeting the other day with you and a broad cross section of your people. Thank you very much for setting it up, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with your people. As I mentioned to John, I am sending you the license paperwork for MarketPoint. I have attached our standard license agreement for your consideration. As I mentioned, the license agreement covers the entire bundled product, which includes ? North American gas, short and long term ? North American electricity, short and long term ? World gas ? Western European gas ? World oil We are just finishing porting the world oil, world gas, and western European gas models over from our old (now obsolete) software system into MarketPoint, so they will not be fully tested and complete for a couple of months. However, the gas and electricity models for North America are presently complete and tested. That should allow us to give you an attractive price before the full worldwide toolkit is available throughout your worldwide business. As I understood it, you will want the gas modeling capability first and will want to defer decisions on electric or other capability. As I mentioned at the meeting, we are prepared to offer that for approximately the fully bundled price. As you read the license agreement, you will see that the software licenses for $100,000 annually, the gas data for $5,000, and the electric data for $10,000. MarketPoint will agree to license you the gas model plus the data for the software license plus the data license for a total of $55,000 annually. This is just under the fully bundled price. I think that is consistent with the discussions at our meeting, and from MarketPoint,s perspective would provide a great basis to move forward together with Enron. If or when Enron ever desires to &scale up8 to another model or model(s) from the MarketPoint portfolio, we will simply scale you up to the entire license agreement. This will allow you to decouple the gas decision from any other decisions you might make. (I will be glad to put this additional pricing provision into the agreement if you decide to move forward.) I felt I was able to communicate the philosophy, scope, and operation of our approach during the meeting and to deliver you much of the information you might need to evaluate whether MarketPoint meets your needs. I thought you were able to see the depth and sophistication of the product yet at the same time its simplicity and effectiveness. I thought you were able to see the benefits of the MarketPoint dimension of economic equilibrium as a complement and supplement to other approaches you will assuredly use. I would be interested in your impressions and those of your colleagues. I look forward to your response and to moving ahead together. We view you as a very important prospective customer and client and will work with you to earn and secure your business. If you decide to license MarketPoint, we can arrange to transfer and mount MarketPoint and the short term NARG model (which is the model we suggest you begin with) and travel to Houston to deliver our 1 day training seminar. Our clients are usually very fluent after that 1 day training seminar. Thereafter, we would want you to work with the short term NARG model for a few weeks while you get up to speed, very fluent, and very comfortable before you take delivery of the longer term version of NARG several weeks later. Thanks again, and all the best. If there is some item from the meeting that I might have forgotten to send, please remind me. My notes don't show anything, but I was speaking a lot rather than writing notes during the meeting and might have overlooked something someone wanted.

The dissertation hasn't been reviewed by Les or the External yet - although its been at FORC for 2 months. I think that the Empirical Chapter is probably the one which would be of most relevance to both our company's businesses - although I ultimately didn't have the time to 'explicitly' price the jump risk-premium which I conjectured is possibly implicit in the prices of exchange-traded electricity futures-options - rather I developed an implicit estimation procedure which will enable a rough assessment (with a little bit of further work, but not too much) be made of the price of jump risk in wholesale power markets. In other words, I assumed spot jump-risk to be undiversifiable, and essentially devoted 2 Theoretical Chapters to : 1) proving that a jump-diffusion trading model is "incomplete" (synthesising the securities markets framework with martingale representation theory) - note that I did not assume that markets could be dynamically completed with 'term structure' securities as in the HJM w/ jumps papers of Shirakawa and Das and; 2) deriving an explicit risk-adjustment process for 'implementing' the price of jump-risk using a jump-diffusion marginal indirect utility of wealth process (ie. a jump-augmented production economy approach in the spirit of CIR, Bates, Ahn & Thompson). Incidentally, I would be keen to find out if you or any of your team done much work on real-asset valuations in a spark-spread option-valuation framework ? I'm about to start a project evaluation of embedded optionality, and have a dilemna whether I should model the spot or forward gas / power price processes. With the former, I can model mean-reversion and jumps explicitly (obviously, important for capturing the optionality of out-of-the-money plant, which might otherwise be ignored in a pure-diffusion framework) but am not maximising the informational content of the available market data (that is, assuming there was a long-term market forward curve for electricity); whereas in the latter the driftless forward supposition means that I have to capture mean-reversion via the futures volatility function, and jumps are less easy to calibrate. Any suggestions ?

Grant, It typically costs too much time to manage one of these special situations. We have no time unless he brings something special to the table. Vince Enron North America Corp. From: Grant Masson 04/25/2000 05:59 PM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Publishable Research...... Vince: The enclosed is from another of the people in the audience of my Kao presentation. I talked to him, and he seemed slightly flaky. However, any research he does would be free. He's looking for direction. I doubt we would want to waste our time and effort on him, but I thought I should send this to you on the off chance that you might have a need for such a guy. (maybe doing some research for Trish?) Grant. ---------------------- Forwarded by Grant Masson/HOU/ECT on 04/25/2000 05:54 PM --------------------------- Steve J <[email protected]> on 04/22/2000 10:02:11 PM To: Grant Masson <[email protected]> cc: Subject: Publishable Research...... Hi Grant, Thanks for writing. I have attached my resume and transcripts for your perusal. As you can see, my background is not finance. I became interested in finance via trading the markets. So my research interests initially revolved around the central concept of trading....pricing, technical type thinking, insider transactions, volume, and such. But with exposure, my interests have grown and I have discovered that I really enjoy economics. Also there are many issues in finance that sound interesting as I am exposed to them. The point is, I am too early in my career to set strict limits on my interests. My goals are to get introduced to research and to new ideas, to associate with good people, and to work on strengthening my weaknesses. I am interested in starting to build a network within the field of finance and especially quantitative finance. Ultimately, I have to prepare myself for independent research in order to succeed in my field. This brings me to my final point. Publications are important for me. Thus I would want to work on topics that Enron would be willing to publish. I would be willing to work on proprietary models, as long as there was a portion of the research that could be written up for publication without jeapordizing the proprietary aspects of the model. Just to let you know. I was not in Dr. Kao's energy class. I took his stochastic processes class. Dr. Kao just mentioned your talk to me as he thought I might be interested in meeting you and learning more about what is being done at Enron. Thanks again. If you need any more info or want anything clarified, just write me.

Chris, This is very well written and will serve the reader well. A few comments. 1. When I think about the taxonomy of the VaR models, I typically use the classification based on 3 categories: a. variance/covariance method b. historical simulation c. Monte Carlo simulation. Delta approach is the way of representing a position in a nonlinear instrument. 2. I would define Monte Carlo as an approach based on statistical simulation of behavior of all the market prices/rates, etc., and revaluation of the entire portfolio. The revaluation may be based on an approximation (using Taylor's expansion) that may involve delta, delta/gamma, delta/gamma/omega or may be exact (based on the same model that produces the mark-to-market portfolio valuations). The main benefit of using the MC simulation in the energy markets is the ability to capture the gapping behavior of the energy markets in a straightforward way. I would emphasize that there are attempts to incorporate jumps in the V/C model (I shall send you the references from home). 3. I would mention that historical simulation may break down in the markets that are evolving quickly (new instruments for which we have no comparable prices, behavior of prices may change as markets mature or de-mature). 4. For bigger portfolios, virtually all methods require some level of aggregation into atomic, elemental instruments to reduce the dimensionality of the problem. This process may be a source of a big error. 5. The computational burden of MC can be reduced through clever preprocessing of a portfolio that introduces no error. Many swaps with the same underlying can be aggregated into one positions ( they are portfolios of forwards and they are linear instruments). Please, feel free to use any comment (or none).

The fact that no clear-cut winning strategy has emerged makes the dilemma more difficult to resolve. In a December 1 CERA North American Power client conference call and web presentation, Paul Parshley, CERA Director, discusses: * The long term strategy and short term returns of M&A: What does it mean for multi-service providers, super-regional provides and the global power and energy companies? * The M&A wave continues: Is it better to be near the front of the pack and embark on an unproven and risky strategic option and hope for the best, or to wait until strategic options are better understood and run the risk of missing the best opportunities? * Stock prices of recently merged or acquired companies: Is Warren Buffet right about the power industry?

Thanks for your call the other day regarding EPRM's upcoming enterprise risk management conference. We seem to be making progress and are pulling together some interesting subjects for inclusion this year. I am currently at a stage where there are plenty of possible sessions and over the next week I will be able to decide of which will stay and which will go. ? I have attached a file that gives an indication of the topics that have been identified so far. Although I have bullet points for the sessions I would first like to identify interested parties and then work with them to develop a session that reflects their particular expertise and experience. I also think that by continuously developing the points we can make greater allowances for continuity between each participant. ? Based on our discussion I would be extremely interested in inviting you to lead a session on the main conference. You seemed to have an interesting view on operational risk and the particular challenges that are presented within the energy industry. This session will run on Thursday, November 16th. The title is reasonably broad at this stage and any suggestions are welcome. ? Your overall views on the current conference content is also welcome and if you feel that another session is more suited to your work do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you soon. ? Yours sincerely, ? Paul Bristow Senior Course and Conference Producer, Energy & Power Risk Management +44 (0) 20 7484 9883 - maildoc.doc

On Tuesday , April 4th, 2000, a local newspaper in my area , "The Bakersfield California" ran an article pertaining to the 50 million dollars of funding from the U.S. congress set aside to study deep sea floor extraction of methane hydrate. This study will focus on methane hydrates as an energy source and the technologies needed for safe, efficient development. According to this article, the ice-like deposits of frozen methane have an energy potential equal to more than twice that of all other fossil fuels combined. I can fax you a copy of this newspaper article if you would like to read it . Send me you FAX number or call me at Enron Wind Corp. 661-823-6433. Also when I was in engineering student back in 1985, I did an independent senior level study on a proposed method which possibly could be used to extract hydrate from the sea floor. If you are interested, I could e-mail you a copy of my thesis explaining this proposed method .

I am in the process of developing the draft programme for the 2000 event, and this is the reason that I am contacting you. Building on the success of last year's event, which attracted over 230 delegates from across Europe and the US, PoweRisk 2000 will once again feature more than 50 leading power industry experts and academics world-wide. There will also be a comprehensive exhibition running alongside, cocktail parties,, champagne roundtables, in-depth workshops * and numerous other opportunities to catch up with your colleagues. Throughout the course of my research, I have been speaking with many of the people who attended the workshop you led with Prof. Geman and Alexander Eydeland last year. The feedback has been extremely favourable and many expressed a wish to see you both participating in the main conference this year. I appreciate that you have an incredibly busy schedule, and to this end, I wanted to contact you at this early stage with regard to the dates for this year's PoweRisk conference and to outline my list of queries to you, prior to calling your office tomorrow. I would very much like to extend an invitation to you to deliver an address at this year's main conference. The conference will be taking place in Paris, on the 4th and 5th of October (with workshops taking place on the 6th) The workshop topic last year dealt with the latest developments in risk management, pricing and trading of electricity derivatives. I would be most grateful if you could spare me some time tomorrow on the phone to discuss this area with me, and in particular the issues that you are finding most relevant to your work with Enron at present. The need to build a programme which truly reflects the needs of the global power trading and risk management industry is clear in such a conference-saturated market. To achieve this we formed our Energy Derivatives Advisory Board last year for advice on all aspects of programme development and speaker acquisition. Chaired by Prof. Helyette Geman, the Board members currently include: Ehud. I. Ronn, Mark B. Garman, Dragana Pilipovic, Blake Johnson, Les Clewlow, Chris Strickland and Christian Vrolijk. This year we are expanding the scope of the Advisory Board and inviting a number of new members*, including Jeffrey Skilling of Enron, Bruce Williamson of Duke Energy, Heinz Dieter Waffel of PreussenElektra, Harvey Padewer of Duke Energy, Alexander Eydeland of Southern Company Energy Marketing, John Shapiro of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Jeff Porter of Koch Industries * (all confirmed and invited Board Members are past speakers at the ICBI PoweRisk event) This year, I would also like to invite you to join our Energy Derivatives Advisory Board. In return for your evaluation of the draft programme and suggestions of possible improvements and potential speakers, you would be entitled to full branding as an Advisory Board member on the conference brochure and all conference documentation, first choice on speaking slots, a free pass if not speaking, and further discounted registration for clients or colleagues. I will call your office tomorrow and would be very grateful if you could spare me a few moments to discuss the above proposals. I will also email this letter to you. My contact details are as follows: Tel: +44 171 915 5194 Fax: +44 171 915 5101 Email: [email protected] I look forward to speaking to you and very much hope that I will have the opportunity of working with you on this year's PoweRisk conference. Yours sincerely Rosemary Fitzgerald Director, PoweRisk 2000
Shane, Thanks for your message. As a matter of fact, I expected your resume in time for our summer internship program. We shall be glad to invite you for an interview.

You probably won't remember my name, but I am the Ph.D. student that took you back to the airport after your visit to Louisiana State University during the previous academic year. ? I received my M.S. in Finance in May of last year, and chose to?remain at LSU to work on my Ph.D. At that time, I intended to pursue a career in?teaching and research at a four year college or university.? In part?because of your visit,?and my?primary interest in normative research, my?plans have changed.? While I?still want to earn my Ph.D.,?I plan to pursue a career in research in the private sector. ? As you know, Ph.D. programs in financial economics are designed to train future academics.? Not surprisingly, they emphasize methods to approach the types of questions that are of interest to finance academics.? What did surprise me, however, was that these areas of interest often had little to do with what I imagined to be the concerns of practitioners in the real world.? As you mentioned in your discussion, academic researchers know little about what their counterparts in the private sector are?doing.????????????????????????????????????? ? In light of my objective, I feel I would get the most out of the remainder of my doctoral studies if I took some time off to work in the private sector to see first hand the?types of challenges I can expect to face as a researcher in corporate America.? As my primary interests revolve around the use of derivatives and financial engineering in corporate risk management, Enron, as the leading innovator in these areas, would be an ideal place to learn.? I was wondering if you were aware of any openings at the company that might provide me with the exposure I am looking for.? If there are no such positions or opportunities, any advice or suggestions you could give me,?such as whether or not you think such a "sabbatical" (for lack of a better term) would be helpful, or information on private sector careers for Ph.D.'s would be greatly appreciated.? ? I am sending a current copy of my vita as an attachment.? If you have any questions my e-mail address is [email protected].? Thanks for your help and advice. ? ? Cordially, ? ? ? ?

After working for seven years on credit risk management in a research and consulting capacity, I would like to transfer my experience in assessing credit risk modeling, information technology and methodology in complex top-tier institutions to an active credit trading managerial environment. I am excited about being involved in trading, origination, risk management and R&D of credit derivatives. I have seven years of experience in credit risk measurement and management. I have helped design, test and implement credit value-at-risk systems with KMV Corp and with a major Japanese bank. I was a major contributor at KMV in designing the Expected Default Frequency model and I am thoroughly familiar with its assumptions, strengths, weaknesses and applications. I did the empirical research that lies behind the KMV default correlation model, the private firm EDF model and I interfaced with J.P. Morgan (now R.M.G.) personnel during the creation of the CreditMetrics documentation. I have excellent analytical, quantitative, statistical and programming skills. I studied finance extensively when I was a graduate student and I studied credit risk theory while I worked with KMV and Arthur Andersen. I am eager to join the credit derivative team at Enroncredit.com where I am certain that my combination of quantitative research skills, credit risk consulting experience and technology expertise make me uniquely qualified to support the credit derivatives trading and risk management function. I have included my resume with this e-mail. Please e-mail me or call me at 201-420-0191 (home) and 212-708-4027 (work) so that we can discuss this opportunity further.

I have detected a tendency to implement different approaches to valuation in the past. To some extent, it reflects the absence of formal rules for sign-off on the valuation techniques which, in turn, reflects, the turf wars and the desire by the originators to control the outcomes. Vince [email protected] on 01/19/2001 06:53:14 PM To: [email protected] cc: Subject: Valuation Vince, I'd like an opportunity to talk to you about valuation. I'm hearing confusing messages about the way that the UK IT team and the UK traders get their Valuation code aparently signed off by Research, while here... You provide it for our guys to wrap up. We have now a situation where the UK team are using a home grown Valuation piece called DOVE, where results differ from those of the equivalent USA portcalc. I need to break through the pride barriers and the "not built here" syndrome, and try to do the right thing, but I don't beleive I can do that without you guidance. I'm scared that if we diverge too much we will never work globally on these systems.

I believe that you will find my background of interest to your firm, and I hope to be interviewed by yourself and other colleagues of yours. I have final exams from March 19-22, but would be most willing to travel to Houston for interviews any time from Friday March 23rd onwards. I hope to hear from you soon.

Shan, It's nice to hear from you. Congratulations on the new job. FT is my favorite publication I never miss (and I read a number of different FT publications, including FT Energy collection). You can contact Harry Arora (X 6750) here in London who works on finance related E-commerce projects. He may give you some useful comments. I shall be myself very interested in the first issue of your new publication. Regards Vince [email protected] (Shan Millie) on 08/08/2000 08:50:45 AM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Hullo, Vince: I hope you're very well. As you can see, I am now working for the FT's magazine publishing business; I have responsibility for what's currently termed the Expatriate Division and I've just passed my statutory probationary period of 3 months. Apologies for not contacting you sooner - but I guess you knew you'd hear from me sooner or later , especially when I need help! Having gotten thru probation, I am set loose upon new projects......I'm investigating several ideas for new magazine product and wondered if you would be able to comment on one of them. Very basically, I want to develop a magazine product for the international private investor, specifically o HNWIs o Owner-managers o Results-oriented but intelligent investor with long-term investment goals and a desire to be able to converse with their private bankers and/or brokers on something approaching equal terms The product would be delivered monthly and cater to the developing breed of private international investor who prefers to make informed decisions - for themselves. The product would aim to cover the major asset classes, including the "wilder shores" such as Hedge Funds and Emerging Markets. I am working on a portal site (imaginatively entitled FTEXPAT.COM!), nested within FT.com, which will launch in October; International Investment will be a significant channel on the site, and a key distribution/marketing channel for this (and future) offering. At this very early stage I am testing out the reaction to the notion of such a product - do you have one? Would you be able to suggest any other contacts who might be willing/able to share their thoughts with me? I know it's not bang in your sphere but I'm hoping you'll be interested enough to share your thoughts with me. If you can give me a few pointers, I'd be grateful. Looking forward to hearing from you, Sh?n 44-20-7896-2310 ********************************************************************* * Please visit the web site of the Financial Times at: * * http://www.ft.com * * * * This E-Mail is intended for the use of the addressee only and may * * contain confidential information.

Steve, All these provisions make a lot of sense. Anjam showed very poor judgment one more time. He got a very generous offer to move to Houston. I recommend keeping him on the payroll, and at home, as long as possible. Vince Richard Lewis 10/26/2000 04:41 AM To: Steven Leppard/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Dale Surbey/LON/ECT@ECT, Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Melanie Doyle/LON/ECT@ECT, Simon Hastings/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Actions on Anjam's resignation I will sit Anjam down before he leaves and explain the confidentiality provisions in his contract and that we will pursue them vigorously. Melanie - can you give me a copy, Steve, let me know when he is leaving - I'll do it closer to the time. Richard Steven Leppard 26/10/2000 10:13 To: Dale Surbey/LON/ECT@ECT, Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Melanie Doyle/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Richard Lewis/LON/ECT@ECT, Simon Hastings/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Actions on Anjam's resignation All My preferred approach to dealing with Anjam's departure is given below. These recommendations are informed by the fact that I don't feel Anjam has much to offer his next employer, except what code and data he can remove from Enron: HR-type stuff: 1. Get Anjam off the trading floor as soon as possible. There is no need for him to remain on the floor. 2. Determine where Anjam is heading. We need to know who is going to know our positions and curves next. IT-type stuff: 1. Ask him to catalogue the contents of his h: drive, since the rest of the group will need to support his work in the future. This should take no more than a day or two. 2. Get IT to obtain their backups of Anjam's h: drive for weekly intervals over the last two months. This will allow us to determine what he has deleted. 3. Get IT to provide a snapshot of Anjam's Notes folders, and provide records of mail sent out to the internet over the last couple of months. I'm worried about code/data he may have zipped up and mailed out. 4. Ask IT to use a utility program to determine what has been deleted from Anjam's c: drives. There may be useful info here too. Steve

Currently, the ALP faculty committee is reviewing all proposals received. We also want to remind those who are planning to submit proposals of our December 1st deadline. Please keep us updated on the status of your project. We are happy to answer any questions or provide assistance. Our goal is to have a good mix of projects from a variety of companies, and we are also pleased to accept multiple projects from one company. Thus far, many of our proposals are marketing and/or strategy related. To increase the diversity of projects, we are especially looking for ideas that give our students the opportunity to utilize finance skills. Of course, an ideal project is one that allows a student to use multiple skills. Again, thank you for your continued interest in Rice University and the Jones School ALP program.
