I would of course keep in confidential. I am actually so surprised to hear
it. Can you give me any better of an explanation?? Does she just annoy
you? Does she bring up subjects you don't like? Do you care if she's
around if it's a big group of people (like the bluegrass festival)? Does
she share your secrets? I only want to know because it would set up some
ground rules. I mean if she comes to the bluegrass festival, does that mean
you wouldn't?? You mean more to me than almost anyone so I would never want
to alienate you or make you uncomfortable. Just a little better
understanding would help.

Yes, you mentioned DB, but we were in the midst of trying to get the stupid
strat sourcing group to go forward with the phase one (which we still want
to happen and its moving very slowly and you might be able to help if you
talk to the stupid guy and tell him you know about us and think we are
awesome). But, Dealbench is more of a bus dev thing (which means ME of
course) and I wasn't to start working on this as some things have hit our
radar screen and they look like they are probably ready to talk to us. I
just want to only talk to the right people and hopefully with a small
endorsement from you to jump start the whole thing. What do you think of
that?

Coulda sworn I mentioned DB when we had dinner with your guy at Bizou.

Let's talk more to discuss the latest developments. Glad to hear that it's
still moving along. I'm in town tonite.

You MUST keep this strictly confidential----I've know Colleen for years.
She's a sweet dear friend of mine. But she's driving me fucking crazy. I
am very happy that you two are buddies and having fun together and that
she's being such a big help with your wedding. But it's going to be best
for you and me and Colleen and Scott and Tony Blair and Oprah Winfrey and
Sammy Soza, and everyone else, if my contact with the wonderful Ms Silva is
minimized in the immediate future. Don't worry about it. No big deal.
Just want and need you to know. And please keep it very confidential.
Thanks.

Best,
Jeff

OK, it looks like DealBench has hit our radar screen hard here. Can you
help me get a meeting set up with the right people??

Look like the strat sourcing group in Houston is requesting a "sand box" to
play in to test out our product. Did you ever get a chance to put in a
good
word there?

David Hoffman wrote me and said he really enjoyed spending time with you
and
said you were such a smart and thoughtful guy. Thought you might like the
compliment. I am going to check out his house as a wedding site on
Thursday
with Colleen and then go have dinner with Lisanne. Any chance you guys
want
to come along?

Write back soon...

Cameron (cc: Ian),

See my response below to the email from David Hurwitz today regarding
DealBench.
My contact at DealBench is:

I'll leave DealBench in your hands, but please keep me advised as it
relates
to Enron. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Thanks,
David

FYI: Just got a direct mail piece from DealBench, LLC, a wholly owned
Enron company. They are selling themselves as a complete RFP and
auction system.

David H,
Here's a wrapup of my meeting with DealBench two weeks ago. I left a
voicemail for Cameron yesterday asking her how to proceed with them, as
this
would become a BizDev deal with a perceived competitor.
On another note, the 2 EES Proc Mgrs that Jim F and I met with a couple of
weeks ago, mentioned that they have an initiative on the table to run a
reverse auction by July 15, and that they are considering BayBuilder. They
said they don't care about the DealBench platform, it doesn't meet their
needs and DealBench isn't giving any better deal to Enron's business units
than they would to anyone else off the street.
Ian and I are trying to schedule a meeting next Tuesday with Proc Mgrs from
several business units along with John Gillespie from GSS in order to demo
Perfect Insight and discuss our Early Adopter Program.

Met for 45 min w Suresh Raghavan to discuss DealBench (Enron's proprietary
auction platform) and the potential for Perfect to provide complementary
solutions to their customers through EnronOnline and beyond. We agreed
that
the purpose of our discussions would not be to have him sponsor us to the
Global Strategic Sourcing unit, but only to consider Perfect as a bus dev
deal. We would need to price ourselves as an ASP for them, but with the
liquidity they have (supposedly like $1B per day traded through
EnronOnline), this should be a no-brainer.
Suresh is the Principal of DealBench, as well as a Director of Enron Net
Works. DealBench is one of many business units under the Enron Wholesale
Services / Enron Net Works group, including EnronOnline, ClickPaper,
MetalMarkets, and other wholesale marketplace services. DealBench has 3
primary offerings:
* Auctioning/RFQ management
* Deal Rooms with complex negotiations tools
* Data Rooms for sharing of secure documents such as CADs, blue prints,
etc
for M&A due diligence.

We discussed the basic functionality and sophisticated math behind Perfect,
and he felt that it was worth considering further as a complementary
service
offering for the DealBench platform. He would like to arrange a demo for
him and some of his managers for the end of June or early July.
