Lori Gunnell

Pasadena, CA 91104
lgunnell@msgidirect.com

To Mr. Ken Lay,

I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills.  Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees.

Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out.  And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year.  As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt.

The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it.  Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings.

Sincerely,

Lori Gunnell


Thanks.

An attorney for Reliant sent a letter on behalf of five Southern California Edison creditors (Reliant, Mirant, Dynegy, Enron, Puget Sound Energy) to SCE today requesting a meeting to discuss the terms of a forbearance agreement.  The following is the statement we are using with the media:

We are interested in getting paid and in discussing constructive solutions.  This letter is aimed at advancing that.  We have no plans at this time to participate as a petitioning creditor in an involuntary bankruptcy filing.  In fact, this letter is an attempt to avoid bankruptcy.


Please disregard the first e-mail I sent.  I am sorry for the confusion.
This file has the correct positions, both NYMEX and OTC, that you requested.

Thanks,

Errol


We are making a number of significant organizational changes.  These changes
are intended to accomplish four key objectives:

First, we need to realign all our wholesale businesses around the successful
business model developed over the last decade in North America and Europe.
This model relies on extensive physical and transactional networks built
around a relatively small strategic asset position.

Second, we need to significantly streamline corporate reporting
relationships.  Particularly with Joe Sutton,s departure, the ability to
directly manage the day-to-day activities of 15 independent business units
has become increasingly difficult.

Third, we need to accomplish these changes without, in any way, compromising
the ongoing profitability of all our businesses and without delaying or
hindering our effort to monetize a significant portion of our lower-yielding
asset positions.

And fourth, as always, we need to take advantage of the reorganization to
redeploy our talent into our highest value opportunities.

ENRON WHOLESALE SERVICES

Today, we are forming Enron Wholesale Services (EWS) which will consolidate
our global wholesale businesses.  The closer alignment of our wholesale
businesses will accomplish the following: (1) enhanced communication and
coordination across business units, (2) more rapid deployment of people to
higher valued opportunities, (3) more effective prioritization of
opportunities across the wholesale business, and (4) more rapid extension of
Enron,s wholesale business model and capabilities into new industries and
markets.

Enron Wholesale Services will include our current North American, European
(including Japan and Australia), Global Markets, and Industrial Markets
operations, and will be expanded to include Enron,s Net Works business unit
as well as a new unit ) Enron Global Assets.  In addition, Enron,s merchant
businesses outside of North America and Europe will be integrated into this
new structure as described below.

Mark Frevert, currently Chairman of each of our wholesale units, will assume
the role of Chairman and CEO of Enron Wholesale Services.  Greg Whalley,
currently Chairman and CEO of Enron Net Works, will join Mark in the Office
of the Chairman as President and Chief Operating Officer.

Providing further impetus for these organizational changes, several of our
international business unit leaders have elected to move into new leadership
positions:

Rebecca McDonald, currently CEO of Enron APACHI, will join EWS as President
and CEO of Enron Global Assets. Enron Global Assets will have responsibility
for managing all of Enron,s existing energy asset portfolio outside of North
America and Europe.  Joining Rebecca in the Office of the Chairman as COO
will be Jim Hughes, currently COO of Enron APACHI.  Rebecca and Jim will
report to the EWS Office of the Chairman.

Sanjay Bhatnagar, currently CEO of Enron India, has joined EBS as CEO for the
Middle East and Asia region.  Sanjay will be responsible for building our
broadband business in this region and the current EBS team in this region
will report to Sanjay.  In this role, Sanjay will report to the EBS office of
the Chairman.  In addition, Sanjay will continue to remain responsible for
Enron,s wholesale energy business in India and will transition this business
into Enron Global Assets in the near future.

Diomedes Christodoulou, currently Co-CEO of Enron South America, has joined
EBS as Chief Commercial Officer.  Diomedes will be located in London and will
focus his origination activities on global opportunities, with near term
attention to the wholesale and enterprise sectors.  Diomedes will report to
the EBS Office of the Chairman.

Jim Bannantine, currently Co-CEO of Enron South America, will be joining EES
to lead EES, commercial efforts outside North America and Europe.  In order
to ensure a smooth transition for our South American businesses and to
facilitate our asset sales activities, Jim will remain in South America for
at least the next several months and continue to serve as CEO of Enron South
America.  Throughout the transition, Jim will report to Cliff Baxter and to
the Office of the Chairman of Enron Wholesale Services.  Following the
transition, Jim will join EES.

In addition to these changes in our international asset operations
activities, we are making the following changes in our merchant wholesale
businesses and the commercial support functions:

Enron Net Works
Louise Kitchen will assume Greg,s previous responsibilities as President and
CEO of Enron Net Works, reporting into Mark and Greg.

Enron Americas
Concurrent with the transfer to Enron Global Assets of responsibility for
operating Enron,s South and Central America asset base, all trading,
marketing, and new asset development activities in these regions will report
into a new entity, Enron Americas.  Enron Americas will have responsibility
for all wholesale merchant businesses across North, Central and South
America.  Dave Delainey, President and CEO, and John Lavorato, Chief
Operating Officer will comprise the Office of the Chairman for Enron
Americas.

Enron Europe
The Enron Europe organization, which includes Enron,s businesses in Australia
and Japan, and Enron Metals, remains unchanged under the leadership of John
Sherriff, President and CEO, and Michael Brown, Chief Operating Officer.

Enron Global Markets
Enron Global Markets, under the leadership of Mike McConnell, President and
CEO, and Jeff Shankman, Chief Operating Officer, will continue to have
responsibility for Enron,s Middle East and LNG operations.  With the
exception of Ecoelectrica in Puerto Rico, all operating power plants and
associated personnel in the Caribbean and Central America will transfer to
Enron Global Assets.  Enron Global Markets will also continue to manage the
commodity businesses in crude and products, coal, weather, insurance,
equities, interest rates, foreign exchange, and agricultural products.

Enron Industrial Markets
Enron Industrial Markets, organization, under the leadership of Jeff McMahon,
President & CEO, and Ray Bowen, Chief Operating Officer, remains unchanged.

Commercial Support for EWS
The commercial support functions for EWS will remain with, and be managed by,
the individual business units.  We are creating no incremental overhead in
the creation of EWS, and in fact hope to reduce our operating costs by more
efficient utilization and sharing of resources across EWS.

To this end we have asked several people to take on an expanded role across
EWS in addition to their ongoing roles within their business units.  These
newly defined roles are as follows:

Mid and Back Office Operations ) Sally Beck will lead Mid and Back Office
Operations across EWS.  These services will become part of Enron Net Works,
with Sally reporting to Louise Kitchen and Rick Causey, Executive Vice
President and Chief Accounting Officer.  This alignment creates a coordinated
services organization with IT and e-commerce platforms to support the
wholesale businesses and to maximize opportunities to commercialize these
services.  Mid and Back Office services for all commercial activities will
continue to be organized with dedicated operations controllers responsible
for specific commodities and/or geographic locations.
Legal ) Mark Haedicke will serve in the role of General Counsel for EWS.
Regulatory and Government Affairs ) This function will remain organized on a
regional basis.  Rick Shapiro will support all EWS businesses operating in
the Americas, and Mark Schroeder, who is based in London, will support all
European and Eastern Hemisphere operations.  Rick and Mark will also continue
to support all other Enron businesses operating in their respective regions
and will continue to report to Steve Kean, Executive Vice President and Chief
of Staff.
Public Relations ) This function is also organized primarily on a regional
basis.  Eric Thode will have responsibility for North American activity,
Enron Net Works, and Enron Industrial Markets.  Jackie Gentle will continue
in her role for Enron Europe (including Japan and Australia) and John Ambler
will have responsibility for activity outside North America and Europe as
well as providing support for Enron Global Markets and Enron Global Assets.
These individuals will also continue to have a split reporting relationship
to Mark Palmer, Vice President of Communications.
Business Analysis and Reporting ) Wes Colwell will expand his role to cover
EWS reporting in addition to his current role in North America.

Attached for your review is an organization chart for Enron Wholesale
Services which summarizes the changes described here.  As this organization
continues to evolve we will keep you informed of any additional changes.

ENRON GLOBAL EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
AND ENRON WIND

 As part of our company-wide initiative to examine our assets and investments
around the world, we are considering a variety of options with respect to
EGEP and EWC.  As a consequence, we are putting these businesses under Cliff
Baxter,s direction.  Jeff Sherrick, CEO of EGEP, and Jim Noles, CEO of Enron
Wind, will report to Cliff.

CORPORATE STAFF

 We are consolidating the corporate staff functions: Human Resources,
Government Affairs, Public Relations/Communications and Administration.  In
that regard, Cindy Olson, Executive Vice President of Human Resources and
Community Relations, will report to Steve Kean, Executive Vice President and
Chief of Staff.

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

 In light of the increased leadership opportunities created by Enron,s
growth, the Executive Committee will be expanded to include more of our
business unit leaders.  The primary role of this committee will continue to
be the communication of relevant information across Enron,s businesses and
the coordination of activities across those businesses.  We will also be
drawing on this group to lead company-wide initiatives such as the
performance review process and evaluation and creation of new businesses.
The Executive Committee membership is shown on the attached list.

 We are also forming a new committee ) the Enron Corporate Policy Committee.
This group will be responsible for overall corporate policy, personnel
management policy and corporate strategy.  The Enron Corporate Policy
Committee membership is also shown on the attached list.

 We are confident that these changes will align our talent and our capital to
our highest return opportunities.  Please join us in congratulating and
supporting all of these individuals in their new roles.


absolutely.  I will make the changes and have something to you this afternoon.

Subject:	phys/gd curve file

Attached is the curve file for phys and gas daily.  I made this extremely simple on our first pass, but I left in the tabs that were in the old/current file.  All you would do would be to go to the fin tab and hard code balance of month price for each of the curve locations(yellow column).  This will then set the gas daily curve.  We will continue to true up to gas daily each day.  You may want to also reset the next day's curve as well, since this is a hardcode, you simply type over the previous day's load.  The phys tab pulls from the fin tab and adds the phys prem to it.  We can increase the complexity of this file by adding formulas or tabs if you like.  I figure you will want to keep your model and I can pull info from there as well.  I simply wanted to start out at a baseline and build it to best fit your needs.  Please let me know what you would like to see changed and we will do it.  Thanks.

Congratulations!  For an unprecedented five years in a row, Enron has been
ranked the "Most Innovative Company in America" by Fortune magazine.  In
addition, for the first time, Enron has also been ranked #1 in "Quality of
Management," topping General Electric and Omnicom Group, and our "Employee
Talent" has been ranked #2, behind Goldman Sachs and ahead of Cisco
Systems.   America's most admired management team is paired with the best and
brightest employee talent.  That winning combination has led to Enron's
five-year "Most Innovative" sweep.  The "Most Admired" list will appear in
Fortune's Feb. 21 issue, available on newsstands Feb. 8.

You are the reason we have achieved such consistent recognition.  You bring
the innovative ideas to Enron and create new business opportunities.  You
contribute to our quality management team.  And you are the outstanding
employee talent that makes Enron such an exciting and successful company.

Keep up your outstanding work, and we look forward to even greater
achievements in 2000!


I'll see y'all at 11:30 unless I hear otherwise.

             2001 Long-term Gas Supply Acquisition Proposal

Dear Mr. DeMoes:

The Public Energy Authority of Kentucky ("PEAK") is a non-profit Joint
Action Agency created under the statutes of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to
provide natural gas supply and associated services to municipal gas systems.
PEAK is requesting proposals from natural gas suppliers for the purpose of
meeting its natural gas supply obligation to existing and new Members.
Using the proceeds of its Series 2001 A Taxable Bonds, PEAK will make a
one-time advance payment to the Supplier, for a supply of natural gas for

		Online Construction Marketplace Ironmax Cuts 30% of Staff
		 mail? top

		 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (VENTUREWIRE) -- Ironmax, an online marketplace for the
construction equipment industry, said it laid off approximately 30% of its
staff. A company spokesperson, who would not disclose the current staff
number, said the cuts mainly affected those in the sales and marketing
departments. The company's strategic partners, Primedia (which holds an
equity stake in the company) and McGraw Hill now serve as Ironmax
distribution channels. "But it was also to execute an alignment with what's
going on in the marketplace and the economy and to trim to the current sales
level and funding environment," said the spokesperson. "It's important to do
what's right at the right time. It's the best thing for proactive
management."  Ironmax raised $10 million in its Series A round of funding in
April 2000 from CMGI@Ventures, Chrysalis Ventures, Iceberg Ventures, and
Prosperitas Investment Partners. The spokesperson would not comment on
whether or not the company would seek another round of fu! nding.

Subject:	La Plata to Bloomfield Drag Reducing Agent Application Proposal

I have been asked to pursue an effort to apply a drag reducing agent (DRA) to the La Plata to Bloomfield pipeline with the intent of increasing the San Juan lateral capacity.  I would appreciate it if you or your representative could participate in a conference call to initate this effort.

The desire is to have this done in the September - November time frame as December is a tariff month.  A launcher and receiver as well as other facilities to make the line piggable would have to be installed, cleaning pig runs completed and the DRA applied.

Please let me know by noon Wednesday if you cannot make either of these times:

2:00 p.m., Thursday, 08/30
2:00 p.m., Friday, 08/31

I will send a note by end of day Wednesday confirming the time and giving the dialing information.

Thanks for your help on this.

perhaps to support private market developments for these products and
services.

Yes, go ahead and send it to Kevin.  It does not look very helpful in that we
cannot argue ENA assigned EES a lot of value.  Mark

Subject: Jazz Fest

Hey Phillip.....I am on a plane back to St. Paul (Sunday night).  My life
completely (other than Jason and Drew) sucks right now.  I can not wait
until this project is done and over with.  I have reached the point of
thinking about quitting.  Funny how only 5 weeks ago my career counselor
asked me regarding that same question...and I had zero intention.

Anyhow, I spoke with Fabiola..and she is still interested in coming out to
Jazz Fest....and was curious in speaking with you and/or Ashley about
rooms.  She is not 100%...but is curious in talking with you re:
possibilities.  Her email is fabiola_rock@hotmail.com...and her cell number
is 617-515-6760.

Give the little one love for me...

Would you correct the price in your system or inform your contract

Attached is the memo that has been prepared for Enron by Frontier Economics
outlining Frontier's observations relating to why the proposed rule changes
are ill advised.  I will provide this document to the 7 member committee of
industry stakeholders the Power Pool has assembled (Enmax, Atco, TransAlta,
Enron, SPPA, WattEx, and CalPX) to receive feedback on its proposed rule
changes.  The first meeting of this committee is tomorrow afternoon.  I will
also provide the memo to the Alberta Government.

As part of our action plan we are also in the process of working with Seabron
Adamson of Frontier Economics and my colleagues in the Government Affairs
Group to put together a document that outlines the negative and unforseen
impacts in other jurisdictions of significant changes in rules or market
design that have been made and that are similar to the changes proposed in
Alberta.   This document will be provided to the Alberta Government officials
and the Power Pool at upcoming meetings that we are attempting to arrange.


Hi Sara!

Please give us a call as your trip grows closer. Schedule permitting (we just
had a baby girl nine days ago, and crush activity may still be petty
crazy!), we'd love to get together. Also, please let us know if we can help
you with any recommendations while you're here.

All the best,

Scott & Martha Wright

Subject: Re: FERC Presentation

It is my understanding that Enron Gov't Affaits would like us to use the FERC
visits to make the case that the wholesale gas markets are very liquid and
competitive, while wholesale electric markets are not -- largely because the
FERC has not fully unbundled electric transmission.    FERC should be
spending 90% of its time fixing fundamental structural rules in the electric
side and 10% refining rules on the gas side.    That is not to say that there
aren't important revisions that the FERC should take up on the gas side.
These fixes, however, can be characterized as refinements, as contrasted with
the fundamental changes we seek on the electric side.  Moreover, these
changes may largely be addressed by the recent Order 637.

With respect to E-commerce, I believe that the Enron message is that the FERC
should  fix the structural problems and get out of the way - e-commerce will
come and in most cases is already here.

Dave Forster of EnronOnLine will be making a presentation that focuses on how
much more liquid gas is than power, as evidenced by tight spreads.  In
previous presentations to FERC folks, Steve Kean has made the point that
while the rules are far from perfect on the gas side (i.e. tariffs are still
not standardized), the market works because FERC got the basic structural
rules right (i.e. 636 unbundling).

I think all your areas of improvement are appropriate (of course I don't
necessarily like them as a pipeliner), but I think they fit the overall Enron
message if presented as a list of refinements.   I plan to speak to them
about competitive pressures our pipeline face,  our current web sites, plans
for Order 637 postings and intraday capacity release.

Here are my  thoughts on getting your points across within the overall
theme.  I'm also sending out a separate email outline of the day.
