Subject: Christmas Vacation


I know I already discussed time off at Christmas with you, but I have really  indecisive parents who are divorced and like to do completely opposite things  for the holidays, so I have one modification to make.
If I could take off  from Friday, Dec. 22, to Tuesday, Jan 2, then I can accomodate both of my  parents and head off a potentially disastrous fight over which kids go with  which parents.
It ends up being two more days off than I had asked for before  -  the 22nd and the 2nd.
I'm really sorry to ask for so much time off, but I  wouldn't do it unless my life were going to be in jeopardy if I didn't.
Thank  you!

Subject: Tuesday Morning Meeting


You're booked in Mt.
Bachelor from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
I'll swing by  Starbucks in the morning and pick up a variety of bagels and cream cheese for  six people.
We'll get a pot of coffee in there and you should be set.
Let me  know if there's anything else I can do.

Subject: Daily EOL Summary 12/21


The EnPower IT group in Houston is making some changes to the EOL Report  which in the long run will improve its functionality, but in the interim has  left it temporarily disabled.
I have left a message for Nicolay Kraltchev,  the IT staff member in charge of the project, and he will be contacting both  Carla Hoffman and me tomorrow.
With any luck, this will be resolved by Friday  evening and we can resume distribution of the report as usual.
I'm sorry for  any inconvenience this causes.
Thanks,
Subject: BPA Business Plan


Just in case you're checking your e-mail in between spa sessions, here's an  update:  The BPA Business Plan has not yet arrived.
Sir Speedy just arrived with copies of the EIS, which were supposed to be  finished at noon.
So I'm a little frustrated with this lack of efficiency.
I've left a message  at BPA regarding the whereabouts of our order; I've scolded Sir Speedy for  the delay; and one way or another I'll get the documents out to Terrell Gault  and Jim Fell tomorrow.
I'm sure the last thing you want to hear while you're escaping from it all is  that things aren't going according to planned back in the office; but I  thought you should know just in case you hear from either of these guys.
Nothing to worry about, though.
You can now resume your poolside position.

Subject: EOL Report


Whew!
I've been battling with this thing all day and it's gotten me nowhere.
The version of  EOL Deal Report I've been using for the past month, and which  Carla used for several months prior to that, has come down with the winter  blues and will no longer produce anything.
Here is the error message it gives  me:  Cannot create file c:\eolJF.txt.
It responds this way no matter what combination of requests I give it.
One  interesting detail is that it began doing this on 12/21, the night before I  left for vacation (thus my delay in dealing with this problem), and on that  same night I noticed that the report looked different than usual.
Actually,  it looked exactly like the stage version that Nadine and I worked with today.
It had the new section at the bottom titled "Uncheck 'Desk Summary Only' to  enable"; whereas the version I had been using did not.
Our IT guys deferred to you on this subject, so I'm still at a loss as to how  to test the new stage version of the EOL report, as I have nothing to test it  against.
My feeling is that, even though the new version has a few quirks, it  would be better than nothing and so should be put into production - because  in the meantime I'm going to have to use it anyway - it's all I have now!
Thank you so much for your support on this so far.
Hopefully we can work  something out tomorrow.
Thanks,

I just checked this deal in Audit Viewer and found that Bob had entered it  this afternoon, then backdated it for 1/8.
I was going to ask him about the  delivery point just as you called him - sorry we crossed paths.

Subject: Are you "rocky mountain high" yet?


How goes it, girlfriend?
I just got your message - sorry I haven't been in  touch yet, and I can give you all the excuses in the book about how I've been  swamped with work, play, life in general, but we both know I'm just flaky, so  there's no point in explaining it.
Anyway, I'm so excited to hear you're doing well in your new Rocky Mountain  dwelling, but you left me here with no good pissing and moaning (and getting  "pissed") buddies.
So I checked out airfares to Denver, and found one for  $118 roundtrip!
Can you freakin' believe it?
Anyway, you have to purchase and  use the ticket by the end of March, so I was thinking a little spring break  action was called for.
Do you think you'd be settled enough by the end of  March to accomodate a portly older sister for a few days?
Let me know, and  I'll do the deal.
Got to go - business abounds at Enron as usual.
I'll try to drop you a line  tonight when I have more time to write.
Do you have a phone number?
Amber was  in Denver over the weekend, and she and Monica called me trying to get ahold  of you, but I had no idea where to look.
(Except somewhere in Denver, but  from what I've heard it's a fairly big place.)
Write back soon, or call - I want to know how the internship is.
But more  importantly, how's the unlimited Starbucks coffee?
Love,
Subject: Disregard last Salsa message


Who's ready to rhumba?
Crystal Ballroom holds salsa classes on the first  Tuesday of every month.
The hour-long class begins at 7p.m., with live music  and dancing afterward.
Cost is $8 for the whole evening.
The other Tuesdays  of the month have live music and dancing, and sometimes classes too.
Anyway,  I'm sure it won't take us more than an hour to become master Latin dancers on  par with Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera.
Do you want to try it out?
Next class is Jan. 23.
And there is actually a  salsa event going on at the Crystal this Friday night with bands and dancing  and all kinds of mayhem - it's $12 and doors open at 7 p.m. Mark your  calendars and tell all your coordinated (and/or good-looking) friends to come  along.

Subject: Phone outage


To all of you who are without the luxury of a dial tone this morning:  Qwest Communications is working on the malfunctioning phone circuit.
We don't  know when the service will be reinstated; but in the meantime you can reflect  on what life was like before the darn thing was invented.
Bell, Alexander Graham                   b. , March 3, 1847, Edinburgh                 d. Aug. 2, 1922, Beinn Bhreagh, Cape Breton Island, Nova  Scotia, Can.
Scottish-born American audiologist best known as the inventor  of                 the telephone (1876).
For two generations his family had been                 recognized as leading authorities in elocution and speech  correction,                 with Alexander Melville Bell's Standard Elocutionist passing  through                 nearly 200 editions in English.
Young Bell and his two  brothers were                 trained to continue the family profession.
His early  achievements on                 behalf of the deaf and his invention of the telephone before  his 30th                 birthday bear testimony to the thoroughness of his training.
Alexander ("Graham" was not added until he was 11) was the  second of the three sons of Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds  Bell.
Apart  from one year at a private school, two years at Edinburgh's Royal High  School (from  which he was graduated at 14), and attendance at a few lectures at Edinburgh  University and at University College in London, Bell was largely family  trained and  self-taught.
His first professional post was at Mr. Skinner's school in  Elgin, County  Moray, where he instructed the children in both music and elocution.
In 1864  he  became a resident master in Elgin's Weston House Academy, where he conducted  his  first studies in sound.
Appropriately, Bell had begun professionally as he  would  continue through life--as a teacher-scientist.

Subject: bananas and other things you can call me with


Greetings from the land of watery-eyed, flat-assed office workers!
How goes  the burly mountain man thing?
I've been hearing second hand from Elliot that  you're faring extremely well mentally despite some poorly crafted sleeping  bags and a bad case of frostbite on your toes.
(That second part I made up,  but it sounded appropriate given the sleeping bag situation.)
All's well  here.
As you could imagine, and probably often do, the sweeping expanse of  people staring at computers that is Enron has changed not at all since you  left.
There are still many computers, many of them have changed positions,  some have gone away, most we are not sad to see go.
That's just the nature of  this cutthroat business.
Also on the stagnantly invariable list is the status  of my life in relation to Enron.
I am still here.
I still stare at the  computer.
Every once in awhile I meander over to the dark window-less corner  that enshrouds the IT wizards and ask them silly questions like, "What does  it mean when I hit this button and my screen starts flashing at me like a  disco ball, then makes this awkward shrieking noise and finally goes black?"
They are incredibly helpful.
I am still pretty much clueless about most  things, although I've learned to talk about them with a semblance of  authority, as in, "No, you twit, the 25 megawatt off peak deal should clearly  be flowing across SP-15 to NP-15 because of the illiquidity of SP's market  right now.
What kind of idiot wouldn't hedge their position in California at  a time like this?"
It all sounds very exotic and important to me, which is  why I'm still here.
But I'm infinitely jealous of your wild exploits in the  great American outdoors.
I suspect my forbearance for sitting in an office  will run out right around the middle of the summer, so I'm planning a trip to  coincide with that meltdown.
I haven't decided between a road trip through  the western United States or just a direct flight to Paris.
Both sound good,  and way beyond my budget, therefore equally attractive.
Well, I've managed to  say practically nothing for long enough now.
I do hope you're having an  amazing time, rambling on toward the next crazy adventure on the horizon as I  believe Jack Kerouac once wrote.
We're all very proud of you here and  constantly refer to you as "my good friend Winston who's skiing across the  state of Wyoming, which was my idea."
I'd love to hear about your trip direct  from the source, although I know you're extremely busy out there, skiing and  killing wild animals for sustenance and whatnot.
But please do write  back....if you can still move your fingers.
Sincerely,
Subject: Deal Changes - No Confirm


Kim -  I've finished changing the list of deals you faxed over to no confirm.
Please  let me know if you continue to see these deals on your new deal report.
I  still had questions on some of the Short Term and Long Term Northwest deals.
On those I will defer to Diana Scholtes.
I also have questions on the  following deals:  557772 - why are we not confirming a daily with Pacificorp?
552516 - why are we not confirming a daily with Riverside?
And there were two deals I couldn't for the life of me read on that fax, so  you may still see deals showing up that don't necessarily need to be  confirmed.
Diana -  I know we had decided not to confirm deals done with Portland General  Electric, but before I change the following deals to "no confirm" I want to  clarify under what conditions we do not confirm with this counterparty.
1.
If the counterparty is PGE and the delivery point is elsewhere (Mid-C,  Montana System, etc.
), do we confirm?
2.
If the counterparty is something other than PGE and the delivery point is  Portland General System, do we confirm?
3.
If the counterparty is PGE and the delivery point is Portland General  System, do we confirm?
I apologize for asking so many questions, but I've got a long list of deals  in front of me and before I create an irreparable mess I wanted to check that  I'm doing this right.
Please let me know.
553666  553667 553668 555174 555175 555177 555178 556365 556366 556367 556368 557665 557666 557667 557668 557734 558952 558957 558958 558959 558960  Thank you both for all your help.

Subject: The Chase Manhattan Bank - EOL


Mark,  Following a discrepancy with an incorrect confirm generated and executed for an EOL deal between ENA and Chase, Dutch Quigley on the Enron Gas desk has spoken with Greg Crowley, a Chase trader, and Cecile Taylor-Simpson (their confirms Manager) - and agreed that they would all like Enron to be the confirming party for EOL deals between us.
(Presently Chase is the Confirming Party for financial commodity confirms).
Can we, and do we want to, revise their Master Agreement to reflect this?
I thought perhaps this would be a good opportunity to try to get Chase to execute the EOL Amendment.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Sally did not realize that the recommendations as drafted had referred to the  master agreement process at all.

Subject: Austin Hotels


In case the Four Seasons doesn't work out, there are two other hotels  downtown you might consider:  The Stephen F. Austin (an Intercontinental I  think) and the Driskill.
Both are old (by U.S. standards) hotels that have  been updated.
For several years after its renovation the Driskill was the  nicest place in town - then came the Four Seasons.
The Stephen F. Austin was  just completely redone a year or so ago - I haven't been inside but I hear  they did a nice job.
Both are primarily business hotels so they may have  good weekend rates.

Subject: FAS 133 response


Paige - I can be more argumentative here but if it's not going to make any  difference in the outcome, I don't really see the point.
Let me know if you  disagree.
While a commodity forward contract which contains an asymmetrical default  provision clearly does not have the characteristic of net settlement, we do  not believe that Statement 133 is appropriately applied to any contract which  requires the making and taking of delivery of a physical commodity absent a  default, regardless of whether the default results in a termination payment  which may be payable to the defaulting party.
An event of default and  resulting termination of a commodity contract can have far reaching negative  implications for the defaulting party well beyond the terms of the contract  itself (e.g.
damage to reputation and credit, triggering of cross-defaults,  etc.
).

Subject: Online Trading - GTC/Master variation


This issue comes up when the Credit Group is not happy with the credit  provisions built into the already executed Master Agreement - they want the  ability to use the GTC with the credit provisions that allow us to call for a  letter of credit whenever we want to instead of having the online trade  governed by the master (as provided for automatically in the ETA).
What do  you think about Edmund's solution?
Mark
Subject: Revision to Long Descriptions and ETA re: master agreements


As presently drafted the ETA provides that if a master agreement is in force  covering a particular transaction, the master controls.
I don't think we  ever adequately resolved the multiple Enron entity issue, though.
For  example, if a counterparty has an ISDA Master Agreement in place with ENA,  that master agreement could easily cover a trade based on UK gas prices.
However, it is not the commercial people's intent that the system work that  way.
They want every trade for a particular product to be with a single  Enron entity (e.g.
all UK gas transactions are with Enron Europe), regardless  of what master agreements are in place.
To resolve this I suggest that the  long descriptions be revised to state the Enron trading entity for each  product type (this is already in place for European derivatives) and that the  ETA be revised as follows:  revise the fifth line of paragraph (a) of Section 3 such that Transactions  are governed by the short and long definitions in respect of a product  "...and any master agreement between Counterparty and the Enron entity  trading in such product on the Website which is in effect as of the date of  the execution of such Transaction..."  (underlined text inserted)   I think this will please the commercial and tax people; any thoughts from the  legal side?
