Here is an email: Enron Wholesale Services (excluding Net Works) has nearly 1350 invoices totaling almost $12 million waiting for coding and approval in the iPayit system. Over 900 invoices have been in the system greater than 30 days. Although a company-wide task force is working to improve the entire process, each of us needs to do our part to ensure accurate and timely payment to our vendors. Following are the statistics on invoices in the system greater than 30 days: ENA 443 invoices totaling $4.3 million EBS 358 invoices totaling $4.6 million EGM 87 invoices totaling $262 thousand EIM 33 invoices totaling $123 thousand If you purchase items that generate invoices (including cell phones, pagers, etc. ), or if you are responsible for coding and approving invoices, you will receive an e-mail notification that an invoice has arrived in your iPayit inbox. You must log on to iPayit and take the appropriate action. No one else can process the invoice for payment while it is in your iPayit inbox. We expect EWS to stay current and process the invoice within 5 days of notification. We will continue to monitor the status of accounts payable and expect to see significant improvement by the end of September. If you need assistance processing outstanding invoices, please contact Christa Winfrey at christa.winfrey@enron.com <mailto:christa.winfrey@enron.com>.

IN: Dear Mr. Lay, It would be difficult for me to describe the excitement I experienced when I first knew that I was soon to be an Enron employee over a year ago. I came into Enron in EES August 2000 as an Account Manager in the Costa Mesa office. I asked for the most challenging assignment available and was given the opportunity to manage the relationship and contract execution between EES and the majority of our marquis national customers (Owens-Corning, Suiza, Quebecor, General Cable, Packaged Ice etc). I really loved that assignment and (according to the PRC) was excellent at what I did. I (like many others at Enron) left a very lucrative job to join EES and I have turned away several opportunities since joining the company. I had envisioned being a part of something as exciting and innovative as Enron as more rewarding than following more lucrative job offers. Now, I find myself in a position that I would have never dreamed of: * I'm uncertain about my job security * Like so many others, I've lost significant personal wealth * I'm not proud or excited to tell others that I work for Enron * I fight with my instinct to leave hoping that I can be a part of something good coming from all of this. I don't understand how this could have happened. So many decent, hard working, loyal, honest people are being devastated by the results of questionable management, a lack of leadership and the appearance of abject greed among Enron Sr. executives. This is a truly sad state of affairs that will be the subject of so many "B" school projects most of which will focus on our mistakes. So, what can a guy so far down the food chain do these days to help right the ship? I am here, I do not want to abandon ship and I am ready willing and able to make a difference. Mr. Lay, there are some brilliant employees buried below layers of management that have proven little more than incompetence. Consider finding time to visit the troops in the field and solicit input. I believe you can find more hope for resurrection out here than behind the filters that exist between you and your real employees. My prayers are with you,
