competitors. DF

< FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
< -----------------------
< Today Enron and Hades announced a definitive energy services agreement
< said to be worth an estimated $666 Trillion. In the deal, Enron will
< provide both gas and electric commodities to Hades' facilities throughout
< and under North America. John D. Rockefeller, former CEO of energy
< monopolist Standard Oil, is now head of Hades' energy management division.
< Said Rockefeller, "Obviously Hell has significant heating demands. While
< eternal flames are a great idea in concept, they
< require vast and reliable fuel resources. Enron was the only supplier
< willing to make a deal with my boss, and, as a former monopolist, I just
< like the way they do business."
<
< A spokesperson for Enron said the two cultures were able to work easily
< together during negotiations. According to the company, "The deal fits
< both companies exceptionally well. With Hades' ability to attract and
< retain new customers, we see this as a fabulous growth opportunity for
< millennia to come." According to several energy industry insiders, Hades'
< high heating demand with very little need for summer air conditioning make
< it a
< very attractive energy portfolio addition.
<
< Hades is a multinational corporation with millions of sites worldwide and
< approximately 173 quintillion customers. The entity boasts sustained high
< growth rates over the last two thousand years. Enron is one of the world's
< leading energy and communications companies. The company owns
< approximately $37 billion in energy and communications assets. Enron
< ranks in the top quarter of Fortune's "Best 100 Companies to Work For if
< You Can Keep A Job There and Don't Mind Working 80 Hours A Week," and is
< among the most respected corporations in America, as ranked by customers
< with respect-us-or-get-curtailed clauses in their energy supply contracts.
