Subject: faith

Mr. Lay, Enron has been very good to our contract company.
We have very little expectation of being paid but we love this company as much as you do.
We work in your corporate records with a great group of people and I feel we are needed there at this time.
We have so much faith in you and we know you will pull Enron through this tumultuous time.
This is meant to be a note of encouragement for a man we all admire very much.
You've done it before.
You can do it again.
Subject: GREED

Dr. Lay, What a joke ... Do realize how lives you and your board of directors have ruined >>>> all because of greed and power ....
I looked up to for a while building a great company nice place to work  but then greed got in your way ...
Lets hear again why Skilling quit ??
because of family ... BS.
Over the past ten years i have worked at Enron as a computer contractor in payroll and i saw the outlandish executive bonuses and money to the islands.
I hope you get justly fined and sent to prison for the fraud you have committed.
The few shares of enron i have left are not worth the paper they are printed on.....i also saw all the stock options you and the board have excersied over thats few years 100s of million dollars what a shame ...
When you opted to replace the oracle Payroll with SAP I new you were loosing your mind ....  all the great people that made you now have to find a job replace their retirement and hope for the best.
I hope we never meet ...  craig cannon a stock holder
Subject: A SUGGESTION FOR POSSIBLE SURVIVAL

A SUGGESTION FOR POSSIBLE SURVIVAL  Dear Mr. Lay,  A suggestion that may keep the "wolf from the door".
The Enron corporate structure is already very compartmentalized, with many separate companies defining the overall business structure.
My suggestion would be to take this concept even further.
Reorganize (before bankruptcy) and allow Enron Corp. to be only a holding company with each of its current departmental companies becoming independent "profit center" companies.
These new corporations could negotiate independently with creditors, and even authorize the exchanging of their equity for additional credit or refinancing.
(Private placements of equity, with a stated goal of bringing these "profit center" companies public, should interest creditors and investment banks.)
The creditors could get their assurances.
Current stockholders keep their investments in the holding company (with some perceived dilution); And long-term, perhaps, Enron emerges as a mini conglomerate like Tyco.
Best wishes, May the Lord be with you and yours,  Kerry J Hodgkinson 9011 Hartzog Street Orange, Texas 77632
Subject: Heart Breaking

The tears rolled down my face the night Channel 11 broke through with the a= nnouncement that Enron was going to merge with Dynegy.
My heart was breakin= g, seeing the hurt in Ken Lay's eyes and to see our company tumbling down a= s if it was the New York Trade Center this was my first thought and questio= n how could a few cruel and selfish individuals bring something so wonderfu= l down after so many years of hard work?
The E means something to me.
I'm s= o proud to be apart of this great company that you and Enron employees buil= t. There are so many roomers of blame, but I can't for a second believe you=  had anything to do with this I know your a man of your word and speak from=  your heart and I'm so sorry you couldn't enjoy your retirement and had to = come back to this mess.
I just wanted you to know that I'm behind your deci= sions and have the utmost respect for you also.
Hopefully some day the indi= viduals that put this great company down will be held accountable and be ma= de put the money they stole back to the company.
Take care of yourself and = your health we need you.

Subject: Very Important!!!

To my dearest precious husband,  Please reread every word of this and do it because you love me.
"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord."
- Psalm 31:24  Courage belongs to those who know God, says the psalmist.
And, I say we all need to continually affirm God's power to protect us.
Today I have created a litany which affirms our faith in God's power, so that we need never be afraid.
Since our current situation strikes fear in our hearts, read this litany of courage and praise.
You need never be afraid!
When I am being tested beyond measure in my job responsibilities ...
I will put my trust in God.
When I am facing the greatest hurdles of my life...
The Lord gives me courage!
When I feel like I am completely alone...
The Lord is my light and salvation!
When I feel like the bottom is falling out... 		My heart shall know no fear!
God will save me!
When I have no other answers or solutions... 		God will send the help I need!
When I go through every terrifying minute of the day...
I am expecting the Lord to rescue me!
When I think failure is upon me...
I am brave, for God's power is greater than any situation I could possibly face today.
"FEAR NOT, FOR I HAVE REDEEMED YOU; I HAVE CALLED YOU BY YOUR NAME, KEN AND BEAU, YOU ARE MINE.
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE WATERS AND GREAT TROUBLE I WILL BE WITH YOU.
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH RIVERS, THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW YOU.
WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE FIRE YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR THE FLAME SCORCH YOU.
FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, YOUR SAVIOR...YOU ARE PRECIOUS IN MY SIGHT, YOU HAVE BEEN HONORED, AND I HAVE LOVED YOU.
FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU."
Isaiah 43:1-5  The bottom line of our life should be faith, not fear, so live today controlled by God-inspired positive thoughts!!!

Subject: Personal & Confidential

Dear Mr. Lay,   I have no idea if this e-mail will reach you, but, I felt I would at least try.
My name is Jim Edwards and I am the CEO of Brittan Communications International, Inc., (BCI).
For different reasons and on a scale that 1/1000th of that of Enron, BCI had to shut it's doors in the midst of a great deal of mis-understandings and information.
The people that got hurt by it caused me great emotional pain at many levels, for it was not my desire at any time to do anything except that it was good for them.
One can feel very alone at a time like this and words can not describe all the feelings that go with an event like this for someone in your position.
I do feel that I can relate because of my experience with BCI.
Other than to tell you that you are not alone, and that you will survive this to go forward again, I can not say much that will help.
Take heart, hold on, and believe.
Prayer helps and I will say one for you.
If for any reason you wish to talk my number is 281-558-6365, my e-mail is jgedwards@hotmail.com .
Regards,
Subject: Solace\Personal

Dear Ken,         Having been  deeply involved at the birth of Enron I,in a very insignificant way,share the immense pain you certainly feel.The only  conceivable solace comes from The Course in Miracles which tells us that "we  are as God created us" and the Bible which says "this too will pass".You and all  the Enron family  are in Pat and my prayers.
As you are obviously  deciding on all crucial corporate and personal matters at this critical time please, if at all possible,look  favorably at my previously sub- mitted formal request to receive the discounted lump sum  distribution of my retire- ment funds authorized under the 1994 Deferral Plan.At this  most difficult time I  greatly appreciate your attention to this  request.
Respectfully  Submitted,                                                                              Lou Potempa

Subject: Chugai

You may recall that Lilly entered into a joint venture with Chugai in 1999 to gain assistance with developing a number of Lilly compounds in Japan and as an opportunity to work closely with Chugai as a prelude to acquiring a significant interest in the company.
As we discussed in June, it became clear that Lilly would not acquire such interest in Chugai and we no longer need Chugai's help with clinical development.
Therefore, we decided to terminate the joint venture.
Attached to this message is a copy of the press release Chugai will issue tomorrow morning regarding the dissolution of the joint venture and a related amendment to the 1995 agreement under which Chugai will co-market raloxifene.
Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions in this regard.

Subject: A Supportive Note

Dear Mr. Lay:  I'm writing this note to you as a show of support to you during your dire times.
The reason that I share this with you is my respect for you as a CEO, a business leader and a person.
My wife is one of your employees who routinely shares stories about you that are nothing less than inspiring.
I know that during difficult times, sometimes words emerge that can help people through difficult times.
I believe that you are sincere man and know that you must be broken hearted, but I hope that this article can help you lead a dispirted workforce to see things more clearly.
My wife, Shelly Pierce, has worked for Enron for the past two years and like many of your employees, has lost a great deal of her life savings.
Of course, I accept most of the blame for this for reasons related to this article.
I lost my investment discipline and held out the false hope that Enron could not falter.
After reading the article to her while I was out of town, I believe that her spirit was a bit rejuvenated and she was ready to face the challenges that lay before you.
Mr. Lay, I appreciate the opportunity that you have given my wife and our family and hope that this story inspires you to regain your successes.
Subject: Restructuring Enron

A outside source suggested to me that I, as a stockholder, should E-Mail my senator and request the government's help to bail out Enron.
After all they bailed out Chrysler, the airlines, and many other companies and are helping Afghan.
Enron was the  7th largest company in the US.
The government should help  Enron while we restructure.
Can Enron E-Mail all employees and stockholders and request  they E-Mail their Senator &/or Congressman and suggest the above.

DEAR KEN ,  I JUST WANT TO WRITE YOU A SHORT NOTE TO EXPRESS HOW SORRY I AM FOR THE PAIN AND ORDEAL YOU HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO THESE PAST FEW WEEKS.

YOU ARE A GIANT AND A HERO IN MY EYES AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SO.

Subject: Reorganization Team

Dear Mr. Lay,  You should hire me to be part of the strategic planning/reorganization team addressing Enron's current situation.
Whether your goal is to salvage the company or to attract buyers, I can add value to this effort.
My qualifications are the following.
I have been a "Big 5" consultant.
I can identify recommendations whose implementation was never considered during analysis.
I have worked in a variety of industries and learned the ropes quickly for each.
I have a graduate degree, but I worked in the real world while I earned it.
I am not a "yes" man and don't believe in sucking up.
I make decisions and am accountable for my actions.
Your company will be remembered as an MBA case study.
Some ambitious professor is probably penning the intial draft as I send this e-mail.
But the ending for that case study has not been written, and I'd like to have a hand in determining the outcome.
I've attached my resume and respectfully request an interview.
You can reach me at (972) 979-6609 to schedule a meeting.
Thanks for your time,

Subject: Investing advice

Mr. Lay,    I am a current holder of Enron common stock.
I would like your opinion.
I am 61 years old.
My first stock purchase was of my Enron stock earlier this year.
($38.65) I am not in the market for the short term.
I am not spending money that will affect my standard of living.
I am considering buying a couple of hundred shares of Enron stock.
Do you think this purchase would be an investment that will grow in the long term or would it be a donation to Enron's creditors.
Thank You.
