Hi, I am looking for a quant position within finance. I have 6 months job experience as a risk analyst at Bear Stearns. I was responsible for the Tokyo equity derivatives desk. I have a PhD in theoretical Physics. My PhD/postdoc research involved numerical methods for PDEs and adaptation of Monte-Carlo Simulated Annealing to various problems. I include my CV. Please let me know if you are interested! Best wishes,

Adam, I believe that we have formally responded to all your issues as per your memo to me of August 8, 2000. In all or almost all cases, we have accepted your position. The agreement should look and behave very closely to what you would have signed with the competing utility. In addition, ENA is paying a higher price, sharing credits and have voluntarily increased the term to twelve years from ten. I do not understand what is holding up completing this transaction other than a complete re-trade on the original transaction. I hope this is not the case. The ENA team worked hard to facilitate this transaction for Enron Wind. In fact, we were originally solicited by Enron Wind to help build the merchant wind market and we had to coax Enron Wind to do this transaction with ENA versus TXU. I look forward to finding a solution to this current impasse. Regards

Well, I didn't get this out to you before I left the office last night. I was still pouring over bonus info until 9:30, and decided to call it quits at that point. Here are some of the things that I would like to do next week: review your action plan to move the close and officialization of London books to same day, to replicate, if appropriate, an Operational Risk information session for London counterparts (you and I can review early in the week what we are doing here in Houston today and modify the info for Europe) discuss the Doorstep process with you and, if you deem appropriate, your business controllers in the London office who will participate in Doorstep reviews this year (clear up and questions and get your input on how to continually improve the process), discuss with Mark Pickering the technology dependencies of the London office related to speeding up London's information for the corporate DPR do some planning with you for the February 12 & 13 ASE discuss the feasibility of utilizing our operational pricing model in London discuss your ideas and thoughts on CommodityLogic and other ideas around potential commercialization of mid and back office services In addition, I would like to meet with anyone in the London office that you think would be beneficial. Through Nicki Scott, I understand that Michael Brown would like to meet with me so we are setting that up. I will also spend some time with Beth Apollo and Ted Murphy while I am there. And I plan to meet with Fernley as well. Any other suggestions on topics or people to see? I think that we have lunch already on the calendar for Wednesday.
Answer: Topics for next week
Jeff, Below is a list of items I'd like to discuss with you when we both have time(?). I just wanted to brief you first. I'm thinking about having a meeting with the basis traders every morning from 8:15 - 8:30 after each trader has gathered information from their desk meetings. This would be the optimal time to strategize as a group since changes in regional fundamentals and respective basis implications would be fresh in everyone's mind. Would it be okay to delay EOL market-making in basis until 8:30? I think it would be worth it. I think it would be a good idea to meet with leaders from other groups (origination (who? ), structuring (who? ), Julie Gomez, and Fred Lagrasta) on a regular basis to obtain new information on anything that might affect ENA's basis positions. Could you point me in the right direction as far as whom to involve and maybe notify them of my intentions? Should we set up a new book (under my management) which would hold certain strategic positions such as spread trades and/or more complex structured positions? I think it would be easier to manage that way by not being "cluttered up" in different books (i.e. the P/L from these trades would be my focus instead of managed by other traders.) Do you think the traders could eventually report directly to me? It seems like more intense leadership might provide an extra push to the group. Talk to you soon, Fletch
