Subject:  Re: SALVADOR CP 11MAY00  (Document link not converted)

I spoke again with Ely Goldin of Egorov, Puginsky, Afanasiev & Marks, who
represent Base Metals.  I told him we have paid for the material and have
clean
bills of lading.  He said they weren't looking to "jam anybody up" and would
try
to resolve the situation upon receipt of our paperwork (which I have just
received from Keith Whitehead) indicating our payment for the material and our
rightful ownership of same.

Unless this matter is otherwise resolved, their intention is to let the vessel
continue discharging and seize the material thereafter.
Rukert Terminals advised me that a U.S. Marshall and two lawyers have already
been onboard the vessel and have confirmed this.  Discharge is continuing with
our cargo expected to be completed by next Wednesday.  I've conferred with our
lawyer, Arthur Taylor, and will fax the documents to Goldin this afternoon,
who
will look them over and get back to me tomorrow.

Bob Klide

I spoke again with Ely Goldin of Egorov, Puginsky, Afanasiev & Marks, who
represent Base Metals.  I told him we have paid for the material and have
clean
bills of lading.  He said they weren't looking to "jam anybody up" and would
try
to resolve the situation upon receipt of our paperwork (which I have just
received from Keith Whitehead) indicating our payment for the material and our
rightful ownership of same.

Unless this matter is otherwise resolved, their intention is to let the vessel
continue discharging and seize the material thereafter.
Rukert Terminals advised me that a U.S. Marshall and two lawyers have already
been onboard the vessel and have confirmed this.  Discharge is continuing with
our cargo expected to be completed by next Wednesday.  I've conferred with our
lawyer, Arthur Taylor, and will fax the documents to Goldin this afternoon,
who
will look them over and get back to me tomorrow.

Have unsuccessfully tried to contact Ely Goldin a number of times this
afternoon.  After speaking with Arthur Taylor, I sent Goldin a fax requiring
their confirmation by the opening of business on Wednesday, July 5th that the
seizure has been or immediately will be revoked or we will be required to go
to
the court to recognize our title to the material and hold Base Metals
responsible for any and all damages/losses.  I'll be out the balance of next
week but will be reachable.  Sandra Torres has all of the necessary phone
numbers.

Bob, Nicole and Jean,

WELCOME BACK !!!

Following received from Orwell............. (Plse see attached below)
...............

Now we have to act quickly, but all moving in the same direction.

If we assume the entire cargo will be attached once the discharge operation
has
finished, then we should all realise that this represents $5,000,000.00 of our
money tied up on the quay, not to mention the inability to deliver against our
existing commitments.

We have couriered about 60 pages of further documents we received from
Aluminium
of Siberia proving the chain of ownership from the smelter to Aluminium of
Siberia and with copies of the RWB showing the metal was all despatched within
April from the smelter.

Have we placed Base metal on notice that now they have attached the metal we
reserve the right to counter sue for all costs and expenses WE may suffer as a
result of their attaching metal to which we have clear title ???

Talk to the court in Maryland and establish what additional documentation they
actually require for us to prove beyond doubt that the metal is ours.

Speak to our lawyer and ask 'What should we do next ???'

For the avoidance of doubt no correspondence should be sent
to any of the counterparties unless it has been approved by the
lawyers.Martin Stanley is coordinating our response and should
be appraised of all correspndence,either verbal or written.

Marc Rich/Novarco are some way further down the track in their
similar problem and expect to have their case heard over the next
few days in New jersey.We should keep appraised of their progress.

As regards our stance I think that we should now take steps to hold
the plaintiff responsible for any costs incurred due to the attatchment
and we should ask the court to require the m to post a bond against
such costs.

Any comments welcome

Spoke with Sandra Torres this morning.  She advised me we've had no further
correspondence from the Base Metals attorney, Ely Goldin, and a copy of an
e-mail from you indicates that the material is definitely being seized.  I
told her to speak with our attorney, Art Taylor, to determine what steps he
wants to take next.

I'll be reachable most of the day if you need me.  My home phone numbers are
516-489-3116 or 516-489-9291.  An overseas call to my private cell phone
would be prohibitively expensive, but Sandy Torres has it if I need to be
reached.

I'd appreciate copies of any e-mails on this subject to this e-mail address,
bobbyk0829@aol.com, so I can keep on top of this.  I've also told Sandy to
check with Rukert Terminal to determine when discharge is complete and to
advise you accordingly.

Subject:  M/V Salvador

It's 10:30 PM here and I haven't seen any correspondence relating to the
"Salvador" from anybody.

Martin, I managed to finally get hold of Ely Goldin at about 5 PM.  He said
he was going to e-mail me a copy of a fax he was sending but I never saw it.
I told him in no uncertain terms that he was indeed "jamming us up" and that
if our material wasn't released to us, we'd have to cover our nearby
commitments from other sources at huge cost and would hold Base Metals
responsible.  He said he needed to establish some link between Aluminium of
Siberia and the Russian smelter and he wondered why the shipper on the bills
of lading was Unimetal (or Uni something - I don't quite remember the name)
and what was their relationship to Alum. of Siberia.  I told him we bought it
in good faith and there may have been any number of companies in the chain
who were really of no concern to us.  At that point, Art Taylor was calling
him on the other line.  I decided that call was more important so we ended
the conversation.

I trust you have since received an e-mailed update from Sandy as to the
contents of their phone call with Goldin (which someone please e-mail to me).

I'll be out of the house all day tomorrow but will have my cell phone with
me, although I expect to be out of range most of the time.  I'll call the
office late morning/early afternoon to get an update.  Sandy, since Art is on
vacation, did he suggest that Greg Clausson might be of assistance?  He might
be more readily available to file any necessary legal papers, unless he's
also on vacation.

Subject:  002671 - 3,582.548MT ALUMINIUM TEE SHIPPED PER 'SALVADOR' -
      S.PETE/BALTIMORE

Pleased to recap CURRENT situation as follows:

On Friday 7th July, Judge Garbis (District of Maryland) ordered that the
attachment of our metal be vacated (i.e. released), but that ANY proceeds from
any sales be paid to:

Bank of America,
10 Light Street,
Baltimore,
MD 21202

Account name: Miles and Stockbridge P.C.

Account number: 00 200 382 2806 (Escrow).

We intend to challenge this condition immediately - hopefully Tuesday /
Wednesday (11th / 12th July).

Judge Garbis appears to be on our side, but since this was a 'Friday
afternoon'
judgement he has allowed Base Metals a little more time to try and prove we
were
involved in some 'fraud'.

The Judge told their lawyers that he could see NO indication of any such
evidence and that they had to 'put up or shut up'

 Sorry I was unable to catch up with you on Monday; I tried your office and
"cell" phone, but called too late in the day.
 I think we should keep pushing here. I'm inclined to send Ely and company a
letter suggesting that they now have enough documentation to show them that
MG does, indeed, own the metal and that they should voluntarily release the
escrow arrangement. I would combine that with a representation that both MG
Corp and MG Ltd are quite solvent and more than able to cover a $5MM loss in
the extremely unlikely event that Base Metals could ever prove to a court
that MG owed that amount to them. I would couple this with a request that we
have an all parties conference call no later than Wednesday to discuss our
respective positions. If we can not achieve a result satisfactory to us,
then I feel we should go back to the court, probably no earlier than Monday
so as not to make it look to Judge Garbis that we are being excessively
aggressive.
 Our easiest argument to the court at this early stage is probably one based
on our solvency, i.e., "Judge there is no need for you to escrow MG's money,
because MG is by no means a credit risk by any definition."
 The only other document relating to the metal that I would like to have is
evidence that Aluminum of Siberia did pay Unimetal for the metal in
question. Could you lay hands on that?
 I will attempt to send you a draft of the proposed letter to the Bad Guys
later this evening in the hope that we can discuss on Tuesday.

Mark,

Thanks your e-mail and proposed 'draft letter' to Egorov,Pirginsky and
Afanasiev.

We are in agreement to all your suggestions, but would ask your views on the
following:

1) Do you think it would be advisable to return to the court say on this
Thursday, 13th July, and ask Judge Garbis what he considers 'reasonable time'
for the Plaintiff to react ???

2) We are all determined to keep the pressure on Base and must ensure we keep
them on the back foot - whilst we agree with the content of your draft we feel
it could be harder hitting - lets discuss.

3) In regard to proof of payment by ALS to Unimetal we have the following
situation - ALS can show they made a number of large payments to Unimetal and
can supply a spreadsheet showing details of their account with Unimetal. It
may
be harder to show specific payments against specific invoices, but I am
pushing
ALS for such evidence.

4) In your draft letter plse note MG Metal is part of MG plc, a publically
traded company with a market cap of $450.00 million.

Lets discuss on your opening

 Gentlemen,
 Would a conference call among the people on our side to plan our going
forward strategy be in order?  If you think a call would be helpful, 10:30
am EDT call tomorrow , would work on this end. If you would like, I can set
up the call. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

To update everyone, Rukert Terminals did not release the material because they
hadn't received a release from the line, Atlantic RO-RO, who hadn't received
the
original bills of lading and customs release from our customs broker who was
holding the bills because they weren't aware the Order of Attachment had been
vacated.  After a little bit of coercion and sweet talk, the complete cargo
should be released and available for shipment this afternoon.

Subject:  Base Metal Matter

 Dear Arthur and Martin:
 I received late this evening a rather outrageous letter from Ely Goldin in
which he takes the position that our documents "raise more questions than
they answer." He also indicates that he sees no purpose in having a
conference call unless it is to discuss our responses to his discovery
requests served upon us earlier today, which, incidentally, are completely
void and of no effect under the US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in my
considered judgement.
 I will separately attempt to email to you Goldin's letter, but, in the
event technology fails me, will also fax it to you first thing Friday
morning.
 I believe we should go forward with the conference call among ourselves to
agree upon the next actions on our part. As we suspected, the Base Metal
people are plainly going to be anything but reasonable and, unfortunately,
we will almost certainly be forced to seek our relief from the Court, rather
than through business like discussions with them.
 I believe you already have dial in instructions for the 10:30 am EDT
conference call. If not, let me know and I'll get them to you.
 I look forward to speaking to you in the am.

Arthur and Martin:
     We've taken a quick look at the papers in the South Carolina case.
It turns out that Base Metal dismissed in that case because they had seized
the wrong metal. As they told the Court: "Upon seizure of the cargo by the
Marshal's service, inspection of the seized cargo and associated transfer
documents, Plaintiff is satisfied that the cargo seized was fabricated at
the Krasnoyarsk Plant, which is not Defendant's plant".

 Scott Haiber who, as you know, has done virtually all of the brief writing
in this matter, was called about an hour ago and told that, very
unfortunately, his mother fell down the steps while visiting her sister in
London and fractured her neck. Scott and his father are leaving for London
this evening to be with her. We will, obviously, continue to work from this
end on our Court filing, but I wanted to let you know our situation here in
that Scott's absence will slow us down a bit.

list. If you have room - and Fernley/Steve are OK - it would be great if he
were invited.

Thanks.

Barry.

I called the Moorings about a Miami charter over New Year's and they said they are shutting down the entire location as of 11/30!  When I asked about any other locations that might still have boats left, she said they have a one week minimum for all charters at that time.  Sorry.

I understand from Shona that you and she have discussed our plans for
Doorstep Reviews in 2001.  I am asking via this note for my assistant to set
up a meeting for the two of us to spend some time reviewing the timeline,
methodology, Andersen's involvement and the involvement of your team.  I will
be on vacation the week of December 18.  I will be working the week between
Christmas and New Year's, so if you are in the office we can plan on getting
together that week.

Greg,

As a follow up. We are talking to Jay Webb today about the data we can get
from
the Enron OnLine system to develop an early warning system  for automated
crude trading.

By the way, it was a good catch. You left us red faced.

We looked into this, and I have another call with them tomorrow.  So far it
looks like they are long the balance of the year.

Jeff, I have update this sheet for the actual storage to date.

I'm trying to keep this worksheet simple.  I added the actual numbers per
navigator.  I think I need to add an Enron balance and a CES balance.  What
do you guys think?


Okay... CES should be up-to-date on all Navigator data runs for CES, ENA,
CALP as shippers for Jan, Feb, Mar, and April. I sent each month seperately
to Molly and Ernie as comma delimited files. Ernie was successful with the
first file I sent.

Just remember that these files include the complete data dump for all
transport. I sent Molly and Ernie the package id's that should be excluded
(Enron Markets).

Also, the volumes may change or have changed due to TCO actuals.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I would recommend that we just have them nominate it out when it is convenient for TW and not charge them any additional fees.  Is there a procedure in place that will prevent us from missing a balance like this again?

Subject:	PNR Balance on PNM Cr# 25672 - PO# 27190

In analyzing shipper imbalance statements, Laura Giambrone discovered a PNR balance of 10,000 Dth on the above noted contract. The balance was parked on TW on April 26, 2000 and PNM paid a $0.03 per Dth/d fee in that month . TW has not billed PNR fees on the balance since May 1, 2000. PNM has not inquired about nor nominated the redelivery of the quantities held by TW.
How should this matter be handled?


Jason - attached is a termination letter for Heartland.  To keep things
consistent, could you calcuate the mark to market exposure as of January 24.
Please copy Dan Hyvl on your response.

John,
 Please review, if okay, please have someone give me the terms of the spot
confirm so that I can attach to the letter.


Over the next several months Enron will be phasing in a new expense-reporting
product, Concur Technologies, Expense Management System (XMS).  You will be
able to prepare your expense report, send it for approval, and transmit it
for payment using the Intranet.  It will be far more user-friendly than the
Excel-based form currently in use and will provide a truly paperless
process.  In addition, the system efficiently integrates with the SAP
accounting system.

On October 16, employees who used a prior version of the product upgraded to
the most current release.  On October 30, it will be available to Enron Corp
employees, Company 0011.  The rollout to other groups will continue through
January 2001.  Rollout announcements will be made to each business unit.

In Houston, IT Central will provide four training sessions per week. To
enroll in a class go to itcentral.enron.com and click on
Services>Training>Schedules. Those in outlying locations and those who prefer
on-line training can use LEAP by signing on to sap.enron.com and clicking on
Training, then LEAP.  Use xms (lower case) as the User ID and Password.

We are excited about this new system and hope you will find it useful.  If
you have questions regarding its use contact IT Central at (713) 345-4727 or
visit their website.
