Subject: Summer Reading List

A suggestion:  One of the most interesting books I've read recently is called "The River  Why," by David James Duncan.
I believe he's from the Pacific Northwest.
It's  about fishing and religion.
Check it out.....if your gigantic FINANCE brain  can fit it in.

Subject: EPMI-Avista Futures Contract

After a little more digging, I've found that the deal NYMEX was referring to  is the same one we dealt with a month ago.
I spoke with Tracy Green, one of  our contacts at Avista, and she had been dealing with the same issue all day.
Apparently, when Avista first incorrectly reported that we hadn't made a  payment, it set off a domino effect of doubts that seems to still be falling.
So NYMEX called EDF Mann, our futures clearing broker, today to assure that  payment would be made today.
Subject: Bloomberg-Pinnacle/APS deals

Here's the latest info.
regarding Bloomberg's ability to accept deals with  Pinnacle West (formerly Arizona Public Service Co.).
From now on, we'll enter  ALL deals with Pinnacle, despite Bloomberg's slow response to the  counterparty name change.
If you never knew that Bloomberg wasn't accepting  confirms with the name Pinnacle on them, then disregard this message and  continue as you were.
Thanks,

Chris - Would you mind e-mailing Evelyn your contact information at the APX?
And I  can't recall whether or not we wanted to confirm these trades.
Let me know  when you get a chance, and I'll take care of it with the Confirms group.
Thanks,
Subject: Unit Contingent Deals

Les - Here's the latest list of unit contingent deals in need of unit names.
I've  tried referring to your unit name list and entering them myself, but it looks  like some delivery points correspond to more than one unit.
I.E.
Navajo can  originate from LV Cogen OR Saguaro Power.
If you could add these unit names  into the deals, or let me know what they are so I can enter them, it would be  much appreciated.
Thanks,
Subject: Travel Plans

Elena, with Imax Town Cars, will pick you up today at 1:40 p.m. You now have  a reservation with National Car Rental in Houston from today until Saturday  morning.
Your reservation number is 808752919.
You can either check in at the  National desk next to baggage claim and then catch the shuttle to the parking  lot, or you can catch the shuttle first and fill out paperwork once you get  out there.
Have a great time in Houston.
Subject: 595421

Thanks for letting me know about the change in this deal.
I looked at the  audit viewer, and it jogged my memory a bit.
Mike originally entered this  deal as Q2 off peak; then he came over to me the next day and said it should  have been Cal'03-Cal'04.
So we changed it, and it must have messed up the  strips somehow.
Anyway, if it checks out with the broker, that sounds good  enough for me.
Thanks again,

Subject: Update

I notified Jim Fell and Terrell Gault of the delay in getting the documents  to them, and Jim actually said he had both the Business Plan and the EIS and  therefore didn't need either.
Hopefully the Business Plan will arrive from  BPA today and I'll send it off to Terrell.
Also, I'm sorry about the errors on the place cards.
I was in a hurry to get  them out to Sir Not-So-Speedy and overlooked those details.
I hope it didn't  cause too much confusion.
Kate
Subject: 464181/464182

Sean Crandall just changed both of these deals.
464181 should have been a  buy, and 464182 should have been a sale.
Hope that checks out correctly - we  couldn't find Diana Scholtes anywhere.
Thanks,
Subject: Expense Report

I have one question about a receipt you have from Teala's Mexican Restaurant  for dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 10.
The total is $36.
Did you have dinner by  yourself, or with someone else?
If so, who?
Let me know when you get a chance  so we can send this off and get you some money.
Subject: Enron Portland - Dec. Futures

Dave - I'm the new Deal Control staff person here in the Portland office, and I've  been told you're the person to contact regarding counterparty match-ups for  our futures deals this month.
The futures were done today, and if you could let me know of the  corresponding counterparties as soon as you find out, that would be very  helpful.
If there is anything I should know about your job or how we might  help each other work better, please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Subject: 465821

Just wanted to keep you posted on this deal.
You called me earlier and said  that the counterparty, Deseret, had recorded this deal with Enron buying.
We  entered the deal with Enron selling.
I have Matt Motley, Kim Ward, and Tim  Belden reviewing the tapes of Kim Ward's conversation with Desret last week,  in which it is clear that she was selling to Deseret.
She's spoken with her  contact there, who still disputes the deal and says we were buying.
They're  all talking it over right now, and I'll let you know as soon as we make a  decisiion on whether or not to change this deal.
Thanks for your patience,
Subject: 465821

This deal finally got sorted out this morning.
I believe Kim Ward and Matt  Motley worked out another deal with Deseret to offset their loss on this one.
But 465821 stands as Enron had it - we sell to Deseret.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Subject: Dec. Futures - New Deal Number

I'm sorry if I confused you with my e-mail last night, but I think I might  finally have the futures figured out.
Now, instead of one deal number with no  counterparty name, we now have two deal numbers, two counterparties, and the  correct number of MW in each.
Imagine that!
Here is the updated information:  467455 10 MW 175.00 Palo Verde Southern Company Energy Marketing Mark Watson  469098 50 MW 175.00 Palo Verde Sempra Energy Trading Chris Bennett  I hope this makes more sense; please let me know if there's anything else I  can do.
Thanks,
Subject: 467455/469098

RE: My newly formed case of dyslexia!
I switched the MW hours on these deals.
469098 should have 10 MW with Sempra.
467455 should have 50 MW with SCEM.
These are correct in the system now, but  I just wanted to alert you to my error.
Thanks,
Subject: New Deal Control Staff in Portland

I'd like to introduce myself, as I'm sure we'll be in frequent contact in the  coming weeks while I adjust to my new position at the Deal Control desk here  in Portland.
Please feel free to call or e-mail me with questions, concerns,  alerts, or suggestions - I'm eager to learn as much as I can about this job  and take it in new directions.
So if there is anything I can do to make your  jobs function more smoothly, let me know.
As a first order of business, thank you for the heads-up on the new version  of Deal Entry.
A couple of our schedulers have been experiencing delayed  efficiency with the program  today - I'm not sure if that has anything to do  with the new version or possibly our Terminal Server connection.
Just wanted  to let you know, in case anyone else has the same experience.
I look forward to working with you, and again, feel free to call me anytime.
Thanks,
Subject: Credit Watchlist Faxes

I was just told that we are being sent the Credit Watchlist Update via fax,  in addition to the one you send me via e-mail every couple weeks or so.
Since  I already receive and print out the list for all of our traders and  mid-marketers, I thought it might cut down on some work for someone if they  didn't have to fax it to us as well.
I don't know if that person is you, or  if you might know who I can contact; in any case, Iwe don't need the  watchlist faxed to the Portland office.
(Anything to take one extra step out  of the day, right?)
Please let me know if I should contact somebody else.
Thanks so much,
Subject: Blazers v. Dallas

Well, the origination tickets are up for grabs if you want them.
I have been  informed by Mollie, Oh Holy Keeper of the Tickets, that you must, and I  quote, "come over here and beg me" if you want to procure free seats to  tonight's game.
The ball is now in your court.
I'd suggest driving down the middle, faking to  the left, butt-kissing to the right, and taking it straight to the hole for a  slam dunk.
Good luck!
Kate "Nothin' But Net" Symes
Subject: STCA Net Position Discrepancy 11/28

Hey there Mr. Real Time.
Looks like you did a deal with Pacificorp on 11/28 -  EPMI STCA buys 8 MW @ $60 for hour 2.
These eight silly little megawatts have  unbalanced our book and driven the schedulers to near insanity.
No, just  kidding.
But I think there should be a sale of 8 MW from Nevada to Mead on  hour 2 somewhere in there.
I don't know - I'm not the expert, which is why  I'm asking you.
Will you please let Lisa Gang or me know how to fix this.
I'm more than happy  to do it, just wanted to double check with the man who created the mess in  the first place.
(Kidding again.)

Subject: Scottish Power 1999 Annual Report

I've ordered the 1999 Annual Report for Scottish Power, as I noticed it was  not in the company file.
It should be here tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
If you need the information sooner than that, I can download the report from  the company's website, although the document is understandably bulky.
Please  let me know if you'd like a print-out.
Also, if you'd like, I can talk to Sue about CASA's financial needs.
Mollie  and I had discussed splitting the auction proceeds between two charities; in  that way we can share the wealth and not inundate an organization with more  than they can manage.
It's something to think about in case CASA doesn't need  much help.

This is their deal.
Broker  mistake.

471588 - This was 12/3, not 12/4.
It's been changed.

Subject: Futures Deal w/ Sempra

Just curious - did you ever catch up with Larry Joe Hunter regarding the Long  Term Southwest desk's futures deal with Sempra?
I'm wondering if I should  grab Matt Motley before he goes home today to let him know he needs to get a  hold of Tim Cannon about the ADT.
Let me know when and if you talk to him.
Thanks,
Subject: Holiday Vacation

I realize this is late notice, but it just occurred to me that I never  discussed my Christmas vacation plans with you when I transferred into  Trading.
I have a family trip planned and paid for, so I hope it won't cause  too much chaos if I'm gone.
I understand the tendency for people to feel lost  and helpless without me.
I'm supposed to be in California with my dad on Dec. 22, then in Mexico with  my mom from Dec. 26 to Jan. 2.
So I basically need to miss four days of work.
Again, I'm sorry to bring this to you so late, and I'd be glad to do any  amount of work before or after, or even spend my holiday entering deals on  the computer in some exotic Central American internet cafe.
I've heard  they're great places to rage.
We can discuss the logistics when you're back in the office.
And by the way,  the flame in this e-mail does not indicate anger, but rather is meant to be a  festive, joyous, holiday-time explosion.

Subject: Blazer Tickets

As you may have gathered by now, the West Origination Group has purchased  season tickets to see the Portland Trail Blazers on their path to  championship glory.
We have four seats which will be used primarily to  entertain customers and foster outside business relationships.
Please look over the attached schedule and determine the game dates you would  like to reserve.
Tickets will be distributed on a first-come first-serve  basis, so be sure to plan as far in advance as possible.
Games that have not  been reserved as of three days prior will be distributed internally or given  to outside parties.
If you have any questions or would like to reserve tickets, please contact  Blazer Command Central by e-mail, telephone, or in person.
Include the date  of the games you would like to go to and the name of the customers you will  be taking.
Subject: Enron Online Report

I wanted to introduce myself and let you know that the Portland West Desk has  a new person in Deal Control.
I'm sure you know from working with Carla  Hoffman that the position requires quite a bit of communication with your  group regarding Enpower program development; so if there is anything I can do  to facilitate the speed or success of your tasks, please let me know.
The first Enpower question I have is regarding the Enron Online Report.
Apparently Carla had requested a few changes, which were then put into a  stage version of the program.
I'm wondering if we can get that report into  production, and more importantly, if we can make a few more minor changes to  it.
Right now I'm running reports by logging on as Carla, which is fine, but  eventually we'd like to see the EOL report up and running for everyone to use.
I know that Carla and Nicolay have worked on it in the past, and I think it  would be relevant to talk with them about issues and obstacles they found in  the report.
I look forward to meeting you (via telephone or otherwise!).
Thanks,

Subject: Explained variance for 12/13

I thought it might behoove you guys to know about this, even though I am  unclear as to its meaning myself.
Basically, Cara made a change in scheduling  that she did not change in Enpower, and it has to do with an ongoing deal  being managed by the short and long term northwest desks.
In addition, Carla and I zeroed out a deal for Diana Scholtes in scheduling -  473338 - selling to Modesto at NP-15 for BOM on peak.
For some reason, she  just needed it zeroed out for tomorrow, so we did not change the deal in deal  entry.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Subject: LADWPPX

I figured you'd probably see Geir before I do.
If so, would you check with  him on these deals and find out if they should be with LADWPPX or Los Angeles  Department of Water and Power?
I have a feeling it's the latter, but I'd like  to know for sure before I change the deals and eliminate the useless  counterparty name.
Thanks,

Angela has joined West Origination as a senior specialist.
She comes to us  from Toronto, Canada, where she did work in merchant banking for OMERS, a  large pension fund, as well as investment banking and project finance for TD  Securities.
She is most proud of her latest project - a 15-month-old baby  girl named Maxim.
Mike has been with Enron for more than two years in East Origination and  Enron Online.
He will be based in San Francisco as a Director for West  Origination.
Mike hails from Florida and comes to us most recently from  Houston.

Kate
Subject: Deal Control Position

I would be very interested in finding out more about the Deal Control  position and what it entails.
Coming from a background in print journalism  leaves me somewhat at a loss for practical experience; however, I make up for  skills in my ability to learn quickly and work aggresively.
I'll come by  sometime today to talk further about this opportunity.
Thanks for the notice.
Kate
Subject: Daily EOL Summary 12/19

Here's the solution I came up with.
It will only take a few more minutes each  day, but I think it will make the EOL summary more relevant.
Please let me  know if this plan suits you -   1.
You will continue to receive the same EnPower/EOL summary, complete with  EES sleeves.
If I take the EES deals out of this table, I have to adjust the  total megawatts accordingly.
This could end up taking awhile, and I'm not  sure the effect would be worth it.
Again, let me know if you agree, because  I'd like this report to be as applicable as possible.
2.
I will run the EnPower deal count, excluding EES deals.
I'll compare this  count to the original one to determine how many EES deals were done by each  desk, then double that number - to account for both sides of the sleeve - and  subtract.
I'll enter the altered numbers into the graph, which should produce  a more accurate rendering of the day's activities.
I think I made it sound more complicated than it is.
Bottom line, this should  solve the EES sleeve dilemma with little ado.

I have changed the following deals to reflect a monthly expiry frequency  instead of daily:  483753 483759 483765 483766  Since I don't enter options very often, and have only done daily options  before, I'm still getting familiar with all the different parameters of the  deals.

I'm dragging myself out of this office.
I can hardly keep my eyes open, but  it's well-deserved.
Santana concert last night with friends from Ashland.
The  social schedule just never lets up.
I don't know how feasible it would be for  me to spend two months resisting the temptations of hand-holding boys and  shadowy bars.
But I will think seriously about the idea.
Have a safe trip  back home.
Oh, and my Christmas plans still stand - gone from Dec. 22 to Jan.  2.
Maybe it's you who needs a schedule rearrangement.
Kate
Subject: 481620/481621

I just changed both of these deals to CAISO energy, instead of Firm.
I  noticed that the one you asked about, #481620, was part of an EES sleeve, so  I checked the other side of it, deal #481621, and sure enough it also had the  incorrect energy type.
It's holiday fever!
Thanks,
Subject: Days I Will Be Gone

While you guys were all busy worrying over the California energy crisis, I  slipped down to Mexico to conduct an investigation of how our neighbors even  further to the south are faring.
Do they still have lights?
Is the AC shot?
Can they even make a blended margarita?
Seriously, though, I will be out of the office on Friday, Dec. 22, and again  from Wednesday, Dec. 27 to Monday, Jan. 2.
I realize this is late notice; I  did let Richter know awhile ago, but I probably should have spread the word a  little further.
I am truly sorry.
At any rate (below the price cap of course), while I am gone I would be so  appreciative if one of you could run the Dow Jones report in the morning and  the EOL report in the evening.
Dow Jones will only need to be taken care of  from Wed. through Fri. of next week.
I will call on those days, and I can  easily explain the procedure over the phone to those of you who don't know  it.
If I call and you're ridiculously busy, just hang up on me.
I'll call  back later.
The EOL report we have come to know and love is actually being fixed right  now.
I will talk with Nicolay Kraltchev, the Houston IT guy in charge of  fixing it, on Friday, Dec. 22.
It should be up and running again by Friday  afternoon.
Again, I'll call to check in and make sure this works, or explain  how to use it.
I'll be in the office on Monday, Dec. 25, just briefly to make sure it hasn't  exploded in my absence, but then I'll be off to the land where tequila is  better for you than water.
Sounds terrible.
Please don't hesitate to call if  you have any questions, or problems, of the work sort, of course.
Subject: Avista deals: confirmation?
