Subject: Moving Expenses!!!!

Mr. Lay,  I was relocated from Dallas to Houston around the 22 of October of this year.
Now, less than a week from being laid off, I am receiving correspondences from Roadrunner moving, stating that I am on the hook for the $21,000 move!
Talk about adding insult to injury.
If this proceeds, and I am SOMEHOW found to be held responsible for Enron's obligations to me, you will force me into personal bankruptcy - as I do not have that kind of money lying around.
While I am hopeful that the agreement will be bound only between Enron and this moving company, I would strongly encourage you to do the right thing and honor this obligation!
We both know it is the right thing to do.
I would greatly appreciate a response and an understanding where you stand on this particular matter.
Regards,
Subject: E-Enron

Mr.  Lay:   Believe it or  not I strongly believe in and practice the values listed below.
I really  did expect Enron to believe them and practice them as  well.
What Enron did  to us Monday afternoon is not in accordance to the values listed  below.
I'm now on the  brink of bankruptcy because I cannot find a job.
I'm 49 years old and  because I enlisted in the Navy during Vietnam, with 9 years service instead of  going on to college, I do not have a degree.
I have more experience than  most anyone with a degree, but so far that doesn't help.
Most  times all they look at is that piece of paper.
I hope someday  you feel what I'm feeling and understand what I'm going through.
You  guys that did this with your millions in reserve probably never will fully  understand.
Sincerely,

Subject: Flexperq Allowance

Due to the Bankruptcy Filing on December 2, 2001, a decision was made to discontinue the flexperq allowance.
This decision was made after the December 14 payroll run.
You will receive your allowance of $1,218.75 on your December 14 paycheck; however,  Payroll will reduce your 12/31 paycheck for the same amount.
Also, please note that executive physicals will no longer be offered or related expenses covered by Enron.

Subject: ENEL Meeting

Ken- As you may remember from Aspen this July I am now  Chairman of CHI Energy a subsidiary of ENEL of Italy.
(CHI is a much  smaller operation than Destec Energy but we are growing fast and I am having fun  with renewables.)
ENEL has an interest in acquiring Enron Wind and Wessex  Water.
The CFO of ENEL is in New York wednesday evening thru thursday of  this week and would like to speak with whoever you think would be appropriate  about our interest.
The CFO's name is Fulvio Conti and his phone number in  Italy is 011 39 329 6130 692 or 011 39 335 287 981.
I am currently at my  home in the Caribbean but can be reached at megawatt@starband.net  email address or  at my phone here which is 011 501 26 4101.
The ENEL may turn out to be  broader than the wind and water.
Please let Fulvio or myself know the best  way to proceed.

Subject: Relief for Enron "Alumni"

Although you have many things on your mind, former employees that have been left out in the cold deserve better than they are getting.
The following was sent to questions@enron.com:  I understood that the petition for the $4500 ($4650) for immediate relief was only one of at least two or more.
Based on a group meeting on 12/03, prior to being asked to vacate the building, it was my understanding that there was also a petition, presented by Enron on behalf of its severed employees, before the bankruptcy court for the "standard" severance package that was posted on the enron.com website.
Due to the speed at which Enron filed for bankruptcy, respect for loyal employees that were let go, the general state of the economy, and time of year, it would be appreciated if someone within the company could work with the court to assist employees in providing relief in the form of the severance package rather than each of us having to petition the court.
Whoever is reviewing these questions is still at Enron and understands that $4500 is not going to keep the wolf from the door long enough for most of us.
Please advise.
===== Sincerely,
Subject: Heartfelt Appreciation - Biography

Ken, Enron Corp was a great empire that found itself vulnerable -- the same as the World Trade Center -- the same as our country's security.
The cost of exposure has been high but a cheap price to pay in the long run for our future generations.
I see Enron in the future.
Subject: Argentina

Ken, Our associates in Argentina called this morning and  suggested that we arrange a trip with you to visit with the President in Buenos  Aires any time in the next ten days.
They guarantee that the Water Company and TGS can be sold  at fair prices with the full approval of the new government.
The investors are  in place to purchase TGS, the deal on the water company is the best deal Enron  will be able to get now or in the future.
Please give me a ring if this is of interest to you by  12:30 est., because we are getting a call from the office of the President at  1:00 est.
Best personal regards,
Subject: word of support

Just wanted to give you a word of encouragement and support.
I don't believe all the fair-weather friend comments.
A man shows his true colors when times are toughest.
I just wanted you to know that there are still many of us who believe that you are a man of integrity who deserves respect.
Many people gossip and publish terrible misinformation about you and this company.
That only serves to convince me that they are not to be believed.
I understand that you cannot share everything you may want to, or even defend yourself at this time, so please remember that the truth is always the truth and it will prevail.
We are behind you and support you.
May God give you the strength you need to get through these personal and professional difficulties.
Smile and enjoy the best of the holiday season - hope, love, charity.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Subject: Enron Kids

I previously sent you an email regarding Enron Kids.
What is the status?
I found a job starting after the first of the year, and I would like to put my son back in Enron Kids.
Is there any possibility that the rate will be reduced?
I was paying $560 before with a subsidy from Enron.
The job I accepted does not pay as much as I was making at Enron.
My son and I both loved Enron Kids and the teachers and I would really not have to start him over in another daycare, if possible.
Thank you for your consideration.
Subject: Thanks for the call yesterday!

Ken  Just wanted to thank you for the call yesterday and for staying in touch during this tumultuous period.
My remaining time at Enron is limited but I wanted to personally tell you what an honor it has to work with and learn from you during my seven plus years with the firm.
You created something very special and most of us who were there know that the benefits to the economy and to people's lives will surely outweigh the negatives of recent times.
But the most important think I have learned from you is "grace under fire".
You always kept your calm; you always were there to take problems on one at a time, and you never stopped giving your best.
Thanks for the important lesson!
Subject: Employee Severance

December 27, 2001  RE: Employee Severance  Enron Corp. Office of the Chairman 1400 Smith Street Houston, TX 77002  Attention: Kenneth Lay  Enron has in place a severance policy that entitles all terminated employees a benefit that is based on length of service and amount of pay.
In the days leading up to the bankruptcy filing, then again during floor meetings at the time of termination, Enron representatives clearly stated that the company would be seeking payment of the severance policy for terminated employees.
This was to follow the advanced payment of $4,500 for these benefits.
However, severed employees have not been contacted by Human Resources representatives to advise them of the amount of severance benefits they are eligible to receive as stated in the policy.
They have also not been informed of Enron's intention to pursue these payments through the court.
Enron has since informed current employees that they intend to work with the court to establish provisions for additional retention and severance for current employees.
Since these payments are crucial for severed employees to assess their financial situation, we are asking Enron to promptly respond to the following five questions:  1) Will the Board approve the severance plan in place or another plan of severance?
2) Will this be the same plan that is being put together for current employees that may be severed at a later date?
3) What day will the board be acting on this plan?
4) What day will the plan be presented to the bankruptcy court?
5) Since employees have not been informed of the status of their benefit, will application for state unemployment benefits cease payment of the severance benefit?
Will Enron waive that stipulation?
In the event that Enron will not be seeking additional severance for terminated employees, we are asking that Enron answer the following questions:  1) By what day will a Human Resources representatives contact each employee with the amount of severance they were eligible to receive at the time of their termination?
2) How do employees access supporting documentation needed for filing a proof of claim form through the bankruptcy court?
This would include company policy manuals and employee files.
Respectfully,   Ezzatollah (Ezzy) Sadrerafi

The backup worksheets contain organizational charts for each of the groups illustrating the headcount reductions that have taken place and those that are scheduled in the future.
Please note that there are two versions of the Communication org chart, one illustrating the current budget and one illustrating the potential organization under Beth Tilney.
I would be happy to answer any questions on the attached.

I have degrees in Mech.
Engg & Finance, and will be graduating from Rice with my MBA in March of 2002.
I have been following developments in the Dabhol matter since the summer of 2001, when I was asked to help put together a briefing/presentation for Ben Glisan, former Treasurer, Enron Corp.
I recently read with great interest the proposed Enron re-organization plan.
I strongly believe given the opportunity, I can help achieve a successful resolution of the company's various issues in India.
In my humble opinion, our current India project negotiation team is unlikely to get the best price for Enron's shareholders.
My background includes:  1) The Solicitor General of India is my brother's Father-in-Law.
2) Father currently holds the rank of Secretary, Govt.
of India in New Delhi.
He is a close friend/advisor to both Mr. Vajpayee(P.M.)and Mr. Advani (Home Minister) Mother was on the faculty of Univ.
of Michigan,& best friend of Mrs. Indira Gandi, P.M. of India.- she is currently Professor Emeritus (Intl.
Law) Univ.
of Delhi, UN expert & Member, Foreign Relations Committee.
3) My parents both earned Ph.Ds from the Univ.
of Michigan,and have lived & worked in the U.S. for several years-  4) I have substantial, successful experience in Asia.- India & I am extremely familiar with the laws/regulations in India.
5) Born & raised in the U.S., I am a U.S. citizen.
But I am fluent in Hindi and other local Indian dialects.
6) My previous assignments have included a successful stint as Country Manager in India(New Delhi) for Hyundai Corp.
I successfully led a multi-national/cross-functional project team in addition to my executive responsibilities during this assignment.
7) Over 12 years of operating management experience with United Parcel Service.
I have extensive experience in logistics and other transportation issues.
Given the current financial situation of the company and your efforts to marshall all the company's resources efficiently, I will stand-by to hear back from you.
Hope you and your family have a very Happy Holiday Season!

We could not, however, let the holiday season past without saying that you know where we are and how to reach us.
And I think you know that we are fully ready to help in any way we can in the weeks and months ahead.

Subject: PGE/NWN Purchase and Sale Agreement

I spoke with Dick Reiten today about when he could expect Enron to take the PGE/NWN deal to the creditor committee for approval.
Dick says by next week he will have his financing lined up with the lenders only having outs if there is a substantial change in the economics of the deal due to regulatory action.
He expects Oregon PUC approval in late May.
He believes that he needs approval from the creditors committee by early February.
He stated that his team is getting questioned  on the timing of the creditor committee approval.
He was pretty insistent that early February should be plenty of time to get approval on a deal of this magnitude.
I told Dick the the Creditor Committee had a mountain of work to do and thought everyone involved needed to understand the complexities of the bankruptcy process before such a large deal was put before the Creditor Committee.
He recognized that but stated the DIP banks were also asking his people about the sales process and timing and thought they would want affirmation that the deal was getting Creditor Committee approval.
I told Dick that we would try to move the process along and thought early to mid February was the quickest we could hope to get Creditor Committee approval.
(This was based on our conversation in Jeff's office that we would know betterabout the timing in 4 to 6 weeks.
Dick plans on us talking weekly about the the progress.
As you can see he is thinks it very important to move this forward as quickly as possible.
Subject: Enron Kids

I previously worked for Enron and have found employment elsewhere.
I really would like to put my son back into Enron Kids starting Monday, but I cannot afford $800 a month.
Do you know if the rates will be lowered?
I am a single mother and can only afford $650 - $680 a month.
Could you please get back with me as soon as possible?
I need to know if I am going to have to put him in another daycare.
Thank you for your consideration.
Subject: I am praying for you.

Mr. Lay,  I just want you to know that I am praying for you constantly.
Keep your eyes on Jesus and don't listen to what everyone is saying!
He will say whatever He wants to say to you as you read the Word.
He does not "point the finger" and accuse.
In fact He doesn't even like that.
(Isaiah 58:9  "Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.
If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;") That word vanity in the Hebrew means trouble, wickedness, sorrow.
I guess that verse means you can't do it either even when they hurt you with their words.
God will defend you.
You said something about being old fashioned that the truth will prevail.
That is not old fashioned .... that is God.
You have that in your heart because you have Jesus in your heart.
Believe God!
He says "if God is for us then who can be against us?"
What a WONDERFUL Word of Testimony you will have when this is finished.
Remember, He brings us out of ALL our afflictions!
(Psalm 34:19  "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.")
I listened to a teaching one time about Rev 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
They said that the devil can't take the blood away from us and that he wants to destroy our testimony.
Mr. Lay, you turned to Jesus in time of trouble.
That is part of this Word of Testimony.
You continually pray for guidance.
That is part of this Word of Testimony.
You trust in Him.
That is part of this Word of Testimony.
You trust that He will bring you through this.
That is part of this Word of Testimony.
You will tell the truth.
That is part of this Word of Testimony.
When all is said and done.
God is going to show you and others (2 Chron 16:9  "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.")
I am telling you.
That is what God showed me in the 16 Days readings.
God testified of a perfect heart towards him.
Yours.
Not that you have done "perfectly"  but that you had a "perfect heart towards him".
It is clearly shown in how you conduct yourself.
I ran across these verses and thought you might like them to encourage you.
2 Sam 22:33  God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
1 Chron 29:12  Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Psalm 62:11  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
Isaiah 40:29  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
If your secretary could send me the dates you are to testify before Congress, it is on my heart to pray specifically for you while you testify.
Thank you, Jesus, for your Word.
Thank you for your servant, Mr. Lay.
Thank you that you ARE going to get him THROUGH all of this.
In Jesus name.
