Dear Mr. Lay: In this trying time of second-guesses and angry shareholders, I wanted to let you know that I have appreciated working for you and share a quick story of how you shaped my view of Enron and the corporate world in general. My second rotation as an associate was to write speeches for the Office of the Chairman. Generally, I was creating presentations for Jeff Skilling, but I did create a couple for you as well. The one I remember best was for the speech at Astro Hall for the Houston Energy Conference where we announced Enron Online. Not only did you let me lead the internal roundtable (I remember sitting at the table, trying to keep my composure as Greg Whalley, Dan Leff, Louise Kitchen and others asked specifics about the slides I created), but you also (generally) agreed with my answers and thanked me for a job well done. That night, I shared a bottle of champagne with my wife and truly believed I could do anything!! So, as far as I am concerned, you have done a tremendous job. Everything happening now is unfortunate. It happened on your watch and thus is partly your responsibility. But you have stepped up to the plate, most likely saved more jobs than lost, and been accountable in more ways than one. Being a leader in good times and in bad, and more importantly affecting the lives of your employees on a personal basis, are truly attributes that I hope to continue in my lifetime. I just wanted you to know that you have truly made a difference in one man's career. And I feel all the better for it. My prayers go to you and your family. Best regards,
Answer: You Did a Good Job
Here is an email: Brent, Andrea and I had a "status" conversation this afternoon. Brent will go to Sao Paulo on July 20 to meet with Andrea, Randy and commercial people. Andrea has requested that you and I go to Brazil after July 28 when the outside lawyer is back from vacation. In general, the three of us are conforming and updating physical resolutions (final and proposed) and identifying additional research necessary to address the financial trading issues. These are related to specific deals originating in Brazil (which are truly settled financially, e.g., a purported prepay where no physical commodity was to be delivered) and issues arising here in Houston (e.g., the Hickerson request for fixed income, FX and equity trading). Brent will be discussing pending transaction structures while in Sao Paulo. It appears that Brent is the "point person" for dealing directly with the Sao Paulo office and he will bring me in as necessary (although I will be dealing frequently with Andrea).

IN: Mark: Can you give me a sense of when you think Margaux will close? The only reason I'm asking is because I will be taking maternity leave at some point in time in the next 2-21/2 months and I want to make sure that if necessary, I get someone else involved. Hope all is going well. Carol
