Subject: Migrate to a more Scalable Database

Hi Jeff,  Today's most challenging business and technical problems require and generate mountains of data.
Managing this data explosion has become an incredibly complex task.
New implementations always require moving data from the legacy system into the new application.
Products, components, customers, vendors and employee data - everything must be moved.
And it doesn't always come from just one place.
Sometimes data from multiple systems must be moved to one big 'integrated solution'.
The issues involved in data cleansing, formatting, converting and preparing for upload are so time consuming and so exacting that it makes sense to outsource select components of the project to an established firm with extensive experience in data migration!
How do you meet this challenge?
Live TechSolutions  Whether your need is for continuous sharing of information between single or multiple source and target entities, networks, applications or systems, or a one-time data conversion from your legacy system, our team has the experience and software utilities to convert and migrate data with incredible speed, precision and security.
Strategy > Analyze > Design > Test > Implement > Maintain  Live TechSolutions team minimizes the time, your valuable staff needs, to devote to solve application integration issues or to transfer critical data from existing software applications to new applications.
Our disciplined approach and demonstrated success in meeting deadlines with sensitive data is reflected in our refined methodologies and "best of breed" tools.
Our solutions seamlessly interface legacy systems to maintain "mission critical" functionality while integrating necessary information sharing.
Live TechSolutions is an industry leader in data migration and transformation services.
We have helped hundreds of companies transition from a legacy software system to a variety of ERP, HR, and Payroll systems.
Jeff, Please let me know of a convenient time to contact you and schedule a more in depth conversation about our Data Migration Services.

Subject: Master Limited Partnerships

Dear Sir, 	As you know Lehman Brothers is one of the most prestigious investment banks on Wall Street.
On a regular basis Lehman brings new companies public in many industries.
One area that has received great interest lately is Master Limited Partnerships.
These vehicles generally have high yields (in the 10% range) with tax advantages.
In today's environment of low interest rates that is extremely attractive.
If you would like to learn more the next time we offer one by prospectus please e-mail or call.
All the best!

Subject: Macerich Conferences

Jeff,   I will be heading out to Macerich's offices to meet Macerich's management team.
At that meeting, we will be discussing the outsource and the future relationship between the companies.
He would also like me to speak to his direct reports about change management and other cultural characteristics of Enron.
However, he would really like you to provide a presentation on the same general topics to the Macerich Company Conference in June.
He has heard you speak and believes your approach and perspective can benefit the conference.
Obviously, these guys are an important relationship and reference for our commercial and real estate business.
Let me know your interest.

Subject: News Release

Mr. Skilling,  In view of the market and economy today,  the fact that my firm is taking aggressive steps to enable our clients might be of interest to you.
Please take a moment to view amscsearch.com and look at the 'In the News' section.
Perhaps this will entice you to invite us to become a contributing part of the Enron team.

Subject: Harvard Forum - September 22, 2001

Harvard University Club of Houston - Harvard Forum "Pathways to Success:  What it Takes to Move from Dorm Room to Board Room in Two Easy Decades" Dinner and Discussion Club Following upon the rousing success of the Club's first Harvard Forum "Raising Children of Character in A World of Affluence," the Harvard Club of Houston is conducting another Harvard Forum.
We plan to have three during the current academic year.
For those of you unfortunate enough to have missed the first Forum, the format works like this:  we'll have dinner, and then a panel of Harvard grads will give brief introductions to the evening's topic from their perspective, and then we will all engage the topic for ourselves in a moderated discussion.
The panel members will be knowledgeable, but not so expert that anyone will be intimidated.
They will, however, be provocative to assure that the subsequent conversation is lively.
You will come away knowing your fellow Club members better than ever - maybe better than you ever wanted.
We hope that the topic we've picked for the second Forum will be captivating to recent and older alumni alike.
Our panelists will cover the spectrum of vocational experience, not all business people; and you might argue whether some even have a vocation.
Some will identify the critical factors in achieving success, while others will argue that all personal planning is an exercise in self-delusion.
We are confident that the discussion will be informative and lively.
Because of the format, only the first 40 people can be accepted.
We had to turn away people last time, so please respond promptly, as indicated below.
When:    Saturday, September 22, 7:30 p.m. Where:   Briar Club, 2603 Timmons (East Briar Room) Cost:      $35.00 per person Reservations:  Email dottie@kerr-solutions.com or call 281/424-3084  (Payment must be made at time of reservation by credit card or mailing check to 3413 Cobblestone Lane, Baytown, TX 77521-1956.)

Subject: Planning a meeting

Jeff,  Just got off the phone with Chuck.
He gave me this corporate e-mail for you.
From the press releases I've read, it sounds as if you will be consulting with Enron for some time to come.
As you might remember, I run a professional alliance within Smith Barney that designs and coordinates financial strategies for people like yourself.
Our team appeals to clients who want an independent source of financial advise, but need the vast resources of a Citigroup.
Our experience in working with highly successful executives and entreprenuers, has been that periods of transition often provide a great opportunity to assess one's position and direction.
Your financial goals are of course , an intregal part of any such review.
We are uniqely qualified, experienced and committed to serving the highly affluent private client.
I dropped the ball after our conversation last year but would love to have the opportunity to hear your plans for the future and whether or not we could be of service to you.
Should I call Sherri Sera at he office to set an appointment?
Just let me know what you would recommend.
Hope all is well.

Subject: Joe Pokalsky calling

Jeff:  I heard about your departure from Enron two weeks ago.
I was very surprised.
It must have been a very difficult decision for you as I know how much of your heart and soul your poured into transforming Enron into the preeminent company that it is now.
I hope that you are very proud of what you accomplished over the past 12+ years.
I have never come across a management team that even approaches the quality of you, John Esslinger, Ken Lay and Rich Kinder.
I have also never come across a business visionary anywhere near you and I expect that I, and everybody else, will see you accomplish great things again.
But whatever you do, I hope that this message finds you feeling well and happy.

Subject: David Doctor/Genscape, Inc.

Jeff:  This is just a quick "head's up" to advise you that I am no longer retired and am CEO of an energy information start-up, Genscape, Inc., based in Louisvllle.
Two founders (32 year olds) left power trading positions to pursue the development of technology able to measure the electric and magnetic fields emanating from high-voltage lines connected to power plants.
They were successful and can now translate those measurements into highly accurate estimates of transmission line load and direction and from that make a highly accurate estimate of a power plant's generating status.
The information is delivered to customers via Internet on a real-time basis.
Genscape will by year end have built a monitoring network capable of monitoring 250+ plants or startegic transmission points in the Continental U.S.  Genscape's initial customers are energy trading companies and subsequent customers will be power generators, transmission and distribution operators, insurers, fuel suppliers and transporters, regulators and wholesale power consumers.
The reason for the "head's up" at this time is that I'll be meeting with Scott Tholan of your staff on Tuesday, May 1, to review Genscape's product.
Subject: [smu-betas] Dent pisses on Bud Wilkinson's grave

Dear Brothers, It was good to see everyone make the trek to central Oklahoma to launch Dent's book.
The Daily Oklahoman published a brief story that suggested Dent had made up a bunch of lies about Saint Bud Wilkinson steppin out on the old lady.
Around here, that's like saying the Pope likes it up the ass.
Needless to say, the Sooner faithful were slightly chapped and the university canceled their offer to host the signing party at our new museum.
Fuck 'em.
Who wants to drink beer in a dusty old museum anyway?
Del, sorry I couldn't make the party but I did get to see Cdie, Grumbles , Strange, Woody, Benson, PP, and Space for dinner.
My favorite part was the full-volume discussion of who had the biggest penis (next to Benson, of course).
Typical urology shit.
The family next to us failed to recognize a medical discussion amongst professionals.
Speaking of Benson, he was worried that his erections might crater all of a sudden just like his near vision has recently done.
I assured him that this was extremely unlikely but, in his case, he'd better hope that his cardiac output remains high or else he's liable to pass out every time he gets a hard on.

Subject: Business Council brochure and picture directory

Mr. Skilling,  I am sending information to the printer this afternoon for our new brochure and picture book for The Business Council.
I was wondering if we should just list you as a Graduate member and list you as Former President & CEO of Enron Corp. and keep the same business address and phone numbers.
Please let me know asap.
Thanks.
Subject: McKinsey NewsNetwork interview

Hello, Jeff,  I just wanted to let you know that I'll be at a mandatory Values meeting (you remember those, right?)
from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.
EST and will be back in the office by 5:00 p.m.  Hope this doesn't mean we miss one another.
If there's a problem, please e-mail or call me with a number you can be reached at today/tonight and I'm happy to contact you at a time of your convenience.
Warm Regards,
Subject: Congrats!!!

Jeff,  If what I hear is true about your retirement, let me be one of the first to offer heartfelt congratulations.
I've never quite understood people that basically work right up to the grave.
It always seemed to me (and now I'm finding out its true) that there are just way too many things to do, books to read, people to meet, places to go, etc., etc., to work 80 hour weeks for 50 years.
When I first read about it, I thought that maybe you and Rebecca had flipped a coin and she lost.
(She had told me that if the two of you got engaged, one of you would have to quit.)
If you really are planning to retire, let me offer some advice.
On my odyssey I've noticed a couple of humps I had to get over.
The first one hit me at about ten days.
All of a sudden I had the stupid impression that I should find something constructive to do.
After a couple of days, the feeling went away.
However it did come back at about the 4 week mark.
Once again, I was able to come to my senses.
I think I may have permanently suppressed the feeling at this point.
Unfortunately, now that I really do have to go back to work, I can't seem to get too motivated.
Oh well, maybe, if nothing else, I have learned not to work 80 hour weeks ever again.
Best of luck and tell my sister hi.
Steve   P.S.
I have sketched you a raised timber platform, with a small cabin in the center (for those that think they need indoor plumbing, etc.)
If you find a place to put it, I want to build it.
P.P.S.
I just finished the first two volumes of Caro's L.B.J.
biography.
Extremely interesting if you're looking for reading mat'l.
Subject: well....

I can't imagine the volume of fan mail on your exit, so I'll be brief.
Just returned from an unplugged vacation to read the surprising/intriguing news.
3 comments:  1.
The Times tells me you're engaged.
A thousand blessings on your heads.
(I always wished I were Jewish but couldn't qualify on taste or IQ).
2.
I've told people that  you are my business hero for several years now.
It seems a little unfair that you would now vie for the "personal life" hero as well, so I'll hold that title in abeyance for the moment.
It goes without saying that if there were ever any way to work together, the firm (not that firm) and I would be honored.
3.
On the trip back, I've been reading Katharine Graham's autobiography.
Apparently, she slept a lot with Adlai Stevenson, another wicked smart guy.
His most widely used quote at "retirement": "I'd just like to lie under a tree with a glass of wine and watch people dance."
They say he was too smart to be President.
All the best.
Subject: Welcome to Turkey

Hi Sue and Mark!
We followed your flight until it was 4 hours from Istanbul on the computer.
It was about 11 PM when I finally stopped.
I checked the flight four times.
the first time you were 877miles ENE of Portland, Maine doing 460 knots at 29,00o feet.
You were a little late leaving Kennedy as takeoff was 6:11PM NY time.
I wasn't up for Istanbul arrival but figured you should be close to schedule on landing.
Hope the flight was a smooth one and I hope you got some sleep.
Say hello to Sukran for us and tell her we love her.
Mother and I are saying prayers for all of you and Our thoughts will be with you all weekend.
LOTS of LOVE and KISSES   MOTHER and DAD       PS to SUE:  Thank you for making the trip.

Subject: Wishing You Well!

Jeff, Now that the dust has started to settled (only slightly), I just want to write this note to wish you well.
There are times when looking out for #1 is of paramount importance.
While we are not in touch with one another to any great extent, I do empathize with you on the strains that you must have encountered over the last few years!
Actually, I probably have no conception of the strain and pressure!
Nonetheless, I hope we can remain in touch.
To the extent that can help in any way (and I don't mean to be presumptuous), I would be delighted to do so.
Best regards,
Subject: future plans

Dear Mr. Skilling: Just a quick little note.
I would very much like to talk to you when you get a chance.
My guess is that you will probably be taking some time off for awhile.
When you do have some time, please give me a call.
I specialize in the finance(VC and Investment Banks) arena and would love to present someone of your caliber to them.
That is of course, if you are interested in possibly going into that arena.

Subject: Membership question

Through YPO International, we got a membership inquiry from Rick Barsky, CEO of Agennix(don't know what company does).
He apparently used to work at Enron.
Bio says he was involved in start up of Enron Renewable Energy Corp. and Enron Solar.
Any input you can give us on this guy?
Subject: Farewell

Dear Jeff:  I read in the newspaper that you have decided to leave Enron.
I'm sure you are receiving thousands of letters like mine from many admirers everywhere.
As I said to you on other occasions, I truly enjoyed serving on your committee to select the new fire chief.
Your talents and natural gifts are so great that not having you at Enron will clearly be a huge loss for that company and the rest of us in the Houston community.
Best of luck and Godspeed in your next endeavor.
As I said to you the last time we spoke, I still would like to find some way to be on your team in the future.
- Roel
Subject: You did a great job as CEO

Jeff,   Just wanted to let you know that you did a great job as CEO.
I don't think Enron would be in position to have a goal of being the world's leading company without you and all you have done for Enron.
I read you recently became engaged.
Congradulations!
That's exciting news.
Maybe that played a role in your decision.
It will be great to have more time to spend with her.
I also read that the Teeside incident was the last straw.
That is good to know that we had such a sensitive and caring leader.
That will be missed.
Best wishes for you and your finance'.
I'll be praying for you.

Subject: Best Wishes

I have wanted to write you a note for several days, but you don't know me.
However, I do know how much you care about others and thought you would receive this in the context it is given.
I am Mark Palmer's assistant and have had the fortune of seeing you "in action," if only for a short time.
I wanted you to know how well-respected and admired you are "among the troops" and after having worked on the trading floor, your reputation is unmatched.
You are the kind of "general" who gets in the trenches with his troops and one that many will follow into war - without hesitation.
When you came down to personally wish Mark a happy 40th birthday, it sent a message to everyone - you were one of us and you truly cared about us.
Enron would not be Enron today without your decade of leadership.
You've chosen the path countless others wish they had the opportunity to do - to be with your family when it matters.
It is your family who will make the chicken soup and be with you Christmas morning.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy life.
Jody Underwood
