Gentlemen, Could we schedule some time for a conference call next week? I would appreciate the opportunity to work through some of the legal issues. I have the lofty goal of not working Memorial Day weekend this year, so I'm trying to get as much done on this deal as soon as possible. Thanks,
Answer: MDEA et al and Enron transaction
Jeff: My name is Tom Mashington and I'm a Construction Project Manager for EES in their Philadelphia office. A few weeks ago, I received in the mail a Enron newsletter which contained a feature of you and your interests. While reading the article, I noticed that you're into "Anything Africa." Two years ago, I was working in Ghana, West Africa on a cogen plant with Stone & Webster. Most US. citizens have no idea what the conditions are like in these 3rd world countries. I was curious as to how many trips you've made to the sub-Saharan section of the continent and to which countries you have visited. Earlier, I was discussing my African experience with Marty Sunde. I sent him a few ebony wood carvings purchased from the local villagers. These pieces were hand carved by artisans in the area. If you have a moment, you should stop by his office on the 8th floor where he has them on display. I have also attached the files containing a few digital photo's from the area where I lived and worked. These are primarily photos from the local villages near the plant. While you're viewing the photos, you should be able to recognize me. I'm the only American looking individual in the tribe. Enjoy Tom Mashington
Answer: Africa
Dear Mr. Schrum, I attended Sing! last night to watch and support my daughter perform with her Tri Delta friends. I enjoyed the performances of the various groups, which were within the bounds of what I expected. Unfortunately, I am not writing to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I'm writing you to encourage the administration to not take lightly the indecent exposure incident which occured in the second act. The act was beyond offensive, it was criminal, especially in light of the young children present. During the first act, I was sitting on the first row, and there were 4 young children sitting in the front. In fact, at the end of the first act I had regretted that I had not brought Paige's six year old brother to watch her perform. I cannot tell you how glad I am that I did not bring Michael. Even I was offended, and I'm a forty-two year old lawyer (we don't offend easily) who was in a sorority at UT. I was glad I had moved back at intermission to sit with my daughter for the second act. Again, I urge you to not view this as an act of youthful indiscretion. It was offensive to the individuals present, and degrading to a fine university which prides itself on "encouraging contributions toward the well-being of humanity". My husband, Neil, who was a Pike at SU in the seventies, joins me in this request. Thank you,
Answer: Sing!
=09Greetings, my name is Rodney Derbigny and I am in the Associate / Analys= t program here at Enron. I'm writing because yesterday I attended the Univ= ersity of Houston 2001 Bauer College of Business Scholarship Dinner and I w= as surprised by the non-representation or presence of Enron at the banquet = other than myself. I graduated from the University of Houston with a BBA i= n MIS this past May and I'm curious to know why Enron is not more involved = with U of H. I know Enron is vastly involved in the community and institut= ions of higher learning, but I want to know if we can put a little more eff= ort into relationship our with U of H. Being that a large number of employ= ees within this corporation have an affiliation or graduated from this fine= university, I believe we would only be limiting ourselves and failing to c= apture the vast abundance of talent that attends this school. =20 =09Last night and at the career fair last week, I had the pleasure of meeti= ng Dean Arthur Warga, Assistant Dean Bob Casey, and Associate Vice Chancell= or Spencer Yantis. These gentlemen informed me of the College of Business'= s new endeavors and direction, especially the Energy Marketing Institute. = I was informed that a presentation has been made to Enron regarding the Ene= rgy Marketing Institute, but the progress of the relationship is still on h= old. I respectfully request that Enron begin taking this opportunity into = a serious consideration because of the vast opportunities it will provide f= or this company and the University. At the banquet, a number of our curren= t industry competitors were represented and have either become involved or = voiced an intense desire to take advantage of the program. Namely, Dynegy,= Duke Energy, El Paso Energy, ExxonMobil, and BP Amoco were represented at = the banquet. With the name recognition Enron possess within the city of Ho= uston and the desire it fuels within the hearts of students to become a par= t of the Enron team, it is unfortunate that we are not as involved as we co= uld be. Enron is doing a great multitude of excellent things, but I believ= e we can become better and do more. If we are truly seeking to become the = World's Leading company, we must capitalize off opportunities as such. The= Energy Marketing Institute at the Bauer College of Business will fuel and = drive our future by preparing students to enter into the business in which = we have made our mark and redefined the standards, Energy Marketing. =09As a UH Alumnus, I want to encourage Enron's relationship development ac= tivities with UH. I truly hope we take advantage of the vast number of tal= ented students U of H is preparing and become more heavily involved buildin= g an enduring relationship with this University, outside of just simple rec= ruiting at a Career Fair. There are numerous opportunities awaiting to be = captured at UH, but if we do not realize this, the talent that is eagerly w= aiting to become a part of the Enron team will go elsewhere. The academic p= rogram at U of H is not only what makes it a fine institution, but the fact= that U of H possesses a student body that is reflective of Enron itself. = The diversity of the university develops students who are culturally aware,= understand the meaning of dedication and commitment (most students work an= d attend school), and who are fueled by an innovative, entrepreneurial mind= set; all of the elements upon which we focus. We need to take advantage = of the access we have to U of H and position ourselves for the future by gr= asping hold of the students and opportunities at U of H. Students graduate= from the Bauer College of Business well-rounded, prepared to enter any are= na of the workplace; from Marketing and Management to Information Technolog= y and Finance, and ready to assume roles as the future executives and leade= rs of tomorrow. =09If there is anything I can do to assist in strengthening the relationshi= ps between Enron and my Alma Mata or demonstrating the importance of this n= eed, please let me know. I trust these words will not be viewed as offensi= ve or taken lightly, but that they inspire change. Enron can truly make a = profound impact on the campus of the University of Houston, aid in the care= er advancement of new graduates, receive recognition in the community, and = position itself to truly become the World's Leading company. =20 =09I hope I can be a part of the efforts to build the relationship with U o= f H and make the vision Enron has become a reality. Thank you and take car= e. Respectfully, =20
