Subject: quant job opening

Vince,  A friend of mine works at Equiva (trading sub of shell/saudi aramco).
She said they are in big need of smart-types to quantify the risk of their portfolio, etc.
Is there anyone in your group past/present who you think might be appropriate and could use a job?

Subject: new bldg- book space- library?

Vince-  Are you going over to the new building right away?
The reason I ask is on the trading floor the workspaces are very small, and there is no room whatsoever for books (eg, econometrics texts).
I think this revives the issue of a library.
We used to have a wonderful one, then it went away.
I was wondering if you could keep a thought in the back of your mind in terms of a place where people could go to find and read good textbooks.
Thank you,
Subject: MSCF

Hi Vince,    There has certainly been a lot of  "water over the dam"  since we first discussed your serving as a member of  the MSCF Advisory Board last fall.
Obviously, you were unable to join us  last month in New York, but I never did hear from you or your office whether  your absence was due to a last-minute schedule conflict or whether you no longer  desired to be a part of the Advisory Board.
Might I hear from you regarding your  interest going forward?

Subject: Internship

Dear Mr. Kaminski,  I was referred to you by Dr. Shi-Jie Deng of the Georgia Tech School of ISyE.
He suggested I send my resume to you because of my interest in the Energy Industry.
I will be receiving my master's degree in Quantitative and Computational Finance from Georgia Tech in December 2001.
My academic background also includes a strong emphasis on research, Mathematics, and Physics.
Subject: French

Vince,  In light of the new circumstances, I am guessing that the company will not continue to reimburse me for my french lessons.
Thanks for the confirmation of this policy going forward.

Subject: Energy Committee

Dear Vince,  	I hope that you would have received by now (through e-mail) the invitation from the Dean for the Energy Committee and the Advisory Board, the complete business plan for the Institute, and the list of the energy committee members.
We are very excited to have you on board with us.
Since you will not be able to attend the first meeting, I would like to arrange a visit by you to the Bauer College sometime in the near future, at your convenience.
In this visit, we would like to summarize the proceedings of the first meeting, get further input from you, and also show you the recently completed AIM Trading Center (even prior to the official opening ceremony in January).
It would be great if we could entertain you for lunch as part of the visit.
Please let me know of some days/time-slots that are open to you in the next couple of weeks, and we will try and firm up the visit.
Many thanks again.
Best wishes,
Subject: GARP 2002 Convention

Dear Vince   I have not heard from you for a few days and was  wondering what is happening.
The last time I spoke to Shelley, everything was  fine and that you were still going ahead with your presentation and  co-presenting the workshop on energy risk.
Please do reply to put my mind at  rest!
Thank you
Subject: EPRM 2002 USA

Dear Vince,  I was wondering whether in addition to your talk on market and credit risk at EPRM you would be interested in participating in the panel debate at the beginning of day two?
The panel will be a senior-level debate on the future of the US power markets and I thought this might be something you would be interested in speaking on.
I have reattached an up-to-date version of the agenda.
Please let me know what you think.
Best wishes,
Subject: help finding finance work

Dear Vince,  Just to remind you, I will be graduating this May with an MBA from Rice.
My concentration is in finance, but I'm also an undergraduate engineer from Cornell University and an IT specialist.
I need help not simply finding a job, but perhaps some suggestions on how I can differentiate myself from my classmates in my job search.
I've been somewhat frustrated trying to explain why I'm more effective than my peers.
Mike Roberts even said that I achieved more for the weather group in three months over the Summer than any other MBA achieved in a year.
This was probably due to my technical background and ability to put models into program code quickly and reliably.
I know this is a tough economy, but I just want a chance to do good work and show quick success.
What I can't say in my resume is that I'm the best in my class at finance, statistics, and information technology.
However, this combination is also my biggest crutch.
I'd like to engage all my skills, but typically, interviewers are only looking for one.
Do you have any leads to big or small companies that might be interested in my skill set?
I'm indifferent to moving anywhere in the U.S.  Vince, in any case, I appreciate your time and any suggestions you could offer.
I had a wonderful time working for you, we really had a good team.
If you have any questions for me, please call or email me at any time.
Sincerely,
Subject: Hi Vince from Australia

Hi Vince,  Well I am speaking at Risk 2001 (which is the combination of Risk 2000 and the Australian Energy Risk 2000)on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of August in Sydney Australia.
I was hoping to see you again but you are not speaking this year.
Well I left iEnergy as a Risk Analyst (www.ienergyglobal.com) to Intelligent Energy Systems as a Market Analyst (www.iesys.com) ~ who have a licence in Enron Sydney for Prophet (Price Forecaster).
After my probabation they offered me a good salary and permanent position (this was an awesome job) but I was offered an Associate Lecture in the School of Banking, Finance and Accounting at Griffith University in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Maybe I am following your starting career in Academia.
I had an interview with Enron Sydney with Raymond Yeow (but did not make the grade) ~ pricing interruptible options.
Well my other friend Quentin Kerr who sent over his papers with (Professor Burrage and Professor Gray from the University of Queensland) to you had an interview with your Houston office (but he did not make the grade) also.By the way how were the papers?
Still I am determined to write more papers in this huge market and maybe I will catch up with you on the American or European Conference Circuit.
Kind Regards
Subject: Thank You For Your Time and Hospitality

Vincent....on behalf  of Toshiba Corporation, we wanted to thank you for the valuable time you spent  with us on Tuesday and also for the great Brennan's Lunch!
We hope you and your  team felt that the time was well spent and you found the Boltzmann concepts and  model to be both interesting and compelling.
We know that we  threw alot of very detailed information at you in a relatively small amount of  time and of course it will take some time to digest.
We're thinking that  the best way forward may be a small research or prototype project where Enron  and Toshiba may be able to jointly test, analyze and benchmark the application  of this concept -- to determine it's feasibility and potential business  benefit.
We are very interested in your thoughts about this  idea.
Subject: Employment Agreement Recommendations

Vince,  Following are the Employment Agreement recommendations for Mike, Vasant, and Krishna.
Please know that I have not had a chance to run these up the HR flagpole yet so the following is not set in stone, but I will be out of town Friday and Monday, and I wanted you to have something for your meeting with Whalley.
Name:  Mike Roberts Term of Contract:  Two years Sign-on:  40K  Equity:  40K  Name:  Vasant Term of Contract:  Two years Sign-on:  35K Equity:  35K  Name:  Krishna Term of Contract:  Two years Sign-on:  30K Equity:  30K  If you have any questions, or need anything else from me, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Subject: Employment Agreements and Final Rankings

Vince,  I am attachings the revised Employment Agreement forms for Mike, Vasant, and Krishna so that you can review the numbers with Whalley.
Please just let me know when you are ready to pull the trigger or if any changes need to be made.
Additionally, I am attaching the final ratings for all of your people.
Some people have NR by their names, but that is only because they have not been here long enough to be reviewed.
If you need any additional info from me, please let me know.
Thanks.
Subject: Touching base

Vince,  How are you?
I understand that it is a very difficult time at Enron right now.
I really hope that things will work out for you fine.
Please do let me know if there is anything that I could be of any help.
Take care.

Subject: MRHV Model (power curve)

Dear Vince J Kaminski,  As a Mathematical Trading and Finance MSc student (City University London) I am writing my dissertation on "power forward curves".
Since you have participated in the writing of the book "Managing Energy Price" I was wondering if you could eventually help me.
The MRHV model seams to be the best econometric one to model the electricity forward curve.
I understand and know how to work out with the classic Mean Reverting Process, but I don't understand the MRHV (I don't know the discretised form and I cannot even find any paper, or article on it) and how to get rid of the exponent to estimate my parameters (long-run mean, Speed of mean reversion, volatility, exponent, Floor price).
Thank you by advance for any help  Yours sincerely
Subject: Meeting Request from Toshiba

Sandeep,  I received a e-mail from Toshiba requesting a meeting to discuss collaboration between Enron.
Mr. Tatsumi states in the email that Vince told Toshiba that Enron would like to examine the Boltzmann model through the Tokyo office.
How would you like us to proceed with Toshiba?
We are happy to meet with them, however I would like to have a clear definition of the objectives from our perspective.

Subject: Rice Energy Club Roundtable topics

Dear John, dear Vincent,   Let me up-date you on the roundtables we decided in the last meeting to focus on during the rest of the academic year.
The original idea was to keep the number of events from 3 to 4 roundtables each semester.
The result of the last meeting with all members was driven by enthusiasm, and as you see below we produced a prolific list of 13 subjects.
Maybe you can help us to narrow down to a reasonable number, 12 events (one we had yesterday) by May 2002 we think are too many.
I also would take this opportunity to update on the ongoing relationships with the most prominent industry in the sectors and have your feedback, suggestion on how to group them in the roundtable.
We got great support so far from Reliant, Enron, Mirant, Schell (Coral), Bp, Duke.
El Paso, Chevron-Texaco, Phillips, and Halliburton etc.. also are interested and we will present the club to them as well.
The major challenge for us is not transform the Energy Club in a Finance Energy Club.
At Rice we already have a Finance club and it works very well.
We want first educate about the energy industry in general, and second present the opportunities for MBAs in the industry in different areas, including finance but not limited to.
Topics of Roundtable Meetings:   0) Energy "101"  1) Corporate Finance (Treasurer or Controller) 2) Energy Consulting 3) Financial Services (trading, risk management) 4) Origination, Marketing and Sales (Oil, Gas, Electricity) - Marteen 5) Project Development, strategic planning 6) Project Finance 7) Project Risk Management 8) Regulation, Deregulation, and Restructuring - Reliant done 9/17/2001 9) Structuring of Products 10) Supply Chain 11) Telecom - Broadband 12) Venture Capital within energy industry - Brian, Paresh   Thanks in advance for your precious suggestions and I am looking forward to meeting you.
Subject: Gas & PoweRisk 2001 Conference, November

Dear Speaker at Gas & PoweRisk  2001!
I just wanted to give you a little update  on the developments of the preparations for the conference in November  in Paris.
We have now just launched the second round of marketing for the event,  and bookings are coming in very nicely - it promises to be another exciting  conference, and even bigger and better than last year's!
For those who have not yet done so, I would like to  remind you of the possibility to send us the names of contacts  that you would like to get informed about your involvement in the  event, and we will then make sure that they receive a conference brochure.
To  assure the highest level of confidentiality, you can also send these names to  our third party mailing house instead, and we will guarantee you that we only  use them for this one mailing.
Furthermore, I would like to remind you to book your  hotel room in Paris as soon as possible, should you not have  done so already.
The conference hotel is filling up very quickly, and we will  only be able to hold rooms for you until the 28th September - so if you wish to  stay in the conference hotel, please fax the booking form directly to the hotel  as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Also please remember that we require a copy of your  presentation by Friday 12th October.
Please make sure it gets  to us in time, as it can otherwise not be included in the conference  documentation pack, which in the past has been a constant source of complaints  from our delegates.
Thank you for your cooperation!
I will attach the AV form and the marketing form -  please send them back as soon as possible if you have not done  so yet.
This should not take more than 5 minutes of your time, but will help us  assure a smooth running on the day.
That's it for the moment - please contact either me or  my colleague Natasha Woolf should you have any further  questions!
I look forward to seeing you in Paris in a few  weeks' time!
Kind Regards,

Subject: Energy Institute Curriculum

Dear Vince,  	We have been working on the curriculum for some of the educational programs to be offered by the Energy Markets Institute that Arthur Warga and I discussed with you in the summer.
I am attaching (tentative) curricula for two important programs: (1) A graduate certificate in Energy Finance, (2) A 5-year BBA/MS program in Energy Finance.
Briefly, the certificate is a 5-course for-credit program that is available to people with sufficient basic background in finance, economics, statistics and mathematics.
This certificate includes coursework in accounting issues specific to the energy industry, basic aspects of energy sources and the organization and regulation of energy industry, forecasting and time-series econometric methodologies, basics of financial engineering and derivatives, real-options and project analysis as it applies to the energy industry, and energy derivatives and risk-managament.
The 5-year program is more ambitious.
It seeks to provide a broad but rigorous curriculum for future energy industry professionals and managers.
In the undergraduate component students take rigorous courses in math, probability and statistics, economics, chemistry and physics, and accounting and finance.
This is conceived to be an "elite" and highly demanding program where students have to handle the more demanding courses in a variety of areas.
The 5th or graduate year of the program is given over to the energy certificate and additional graduate courses in finance and accounting.
I know you are extremely busy, but it would be very helpful to get your reaction (even at a broad level) to these programs and the type of courses that are envisaged.
We view these programs to potentially form the core of the educational activities of the Institute, but the next step would be to develop more specialized programs (of shorter duration) aimed at professionals already working on challenging problems in the industry.
We are in the process of setting up the Institute and developing its governance and administrative structure.
I will give you more details very shortly.
Subject: two potential projects at MIT

Hi Vince,  How are you?
Everything is going well here in Boston.
I am staying very busy in school with the core business classes.
I am taking an intro to Finance with Myers which is very good, but otherwise my classes are very fundamental.
I'm finding the most challenging part of business school is juggling all the extracurricular activities.
Today we kicked off our first official team project which is very similar to the Tiger projects at Wharton that we worked on last spring.
We have a lot of flexibility with the topic of the project.
We are just supposed to find a real company or business unit that will let us analyze a recent, ongoing, or anticipated change initiative.
All that is required is that the initiative be important to the company, represent a change, and have organizational implications.
I don't know if you or a business unit of Enron you know of would like some free consulting in this area, but if so I would love a chance to talk with you about it.
Another group of us are starting an Energy and Environmental Finance Club this year.
We've collected over $3,000 for the club from about 100 MBA and Manufacturing students, and we will get more from the school.
We would like to bring in speakers from the industry to tell us about new initiatives and the state of the business.
Would you or someone you know be interested in presenting to the club?
The students would really appreciate your involvement.
Please feel free to forward this email to whomever you think may be interested in these projects.
I will try calling later this week to touch base and see how everything is in Houston.
See hello to Shirley and everyone else for me.

Subject: Update on EWS Account Payable Status

This message is to update you on the status of EWS Accounts Payable (AP) and highlight recent improvements to the AP process.
EWS Statistics Thank you for your efforts to keep your iPayit inbox current, which reduces the chance of duplicate payments and directly impacts our vendors' confidence in Enron.
As you can see, we've made improvement in reducing our invoices over 30 days.
If you have invoices in your iPayit inbox that you can not process immediately, please use the new "hold for review" function.
This will let us know you are holding the invoice intentionally and will resolve later.
Task Force Update Here are a few statistics that indicate a positive trend in AP processing: * Average time from the P.O.
Box to your iPayit inbox:  Reduced from 10 days to 3 days * Critical service and utility payments are processed in less than 2 days * 75% of invoices received in AP have correct contact information (those missing information are returned to the vendor for correction)  If you need assistance processing outstanding invoices, please contact Christa Winfrey at christa.winfrey@enron.com.
Subject: Compensation Concern

Sevil,   As I stated to you yesterday, I am extremely sorry for causing so much confusion over the non-existent compensation concern.
I would like to reassure you though that there are no problems or concerns, and that I was just letting my mind get ahead of me, and was mixing different thought processes and projects.
Unfortunately, you had to reap the repercussions of my brain malfunction.
I hope that you accept my apology, and can rest with an easy mind.

Subject: Hello & Thanks for the Call

John:  I received your voice mail upon return to the office this morning.
I'm sorry the schedules did not match up yesterday but certainly hope the next opportunity to meet will not be long in coming.
I was most impressed with the quality of students interviewed on campus yesterday.
Likewise, I have now had a chance to meet some of those we have hired while I was in London.
The high standard clearly continues.
Concerning your reference to the annual finance conference, I have kept up with each event from a distance.
Memory serving, it has been about four years since the concept was first considered.
Time flies!
Others have also said that it is a real success.
Many thanks to you and others at Baylor for the time and effort dedicated to date.
Let me know when you have plans to be in Houston in the future.
I'll do the same when in Waco.
Pass on my well wishes to others at the Business School including Dr.(s) Rose and Petty.
I did have a chance to visit with Dr. Maness by phone and exchanged v-mails with Dr. Rose.
All The Best,
