Martin:

Tuesday evening would be great. Are you coming to the office on Tuesday? If
so, we can make plans then. Otherwise,

Jeff, thanks for your note below.

I heard from Mark Elliott about your trip to London. Tuesday evening may be
an opportunity for dinner, since I anticipate to spend from Tuesday afternoon
to Wednesday afternoon (7-8/11) in London. Please let me know if that'll
work for you.

Martin

Martin:

It was good hearing from you. I hope all is well with you. By the way I
will be in London next week. If by chance you are there maybe we could get
together for dinner.

Anyway, I have looked over your note. I am not aware of anything we have
done that looks like what is described in your note. The closest that I am
aware of are two gas management arrangements in Canada which involve Enron
Canada selling gas of a producer within certain predefined parameters. The
things we have done in the States have involved Enron North America Corp.
having complete control over a customer's assets or in the alternative
presenting a customer with alternatives that the customer will choose among.

Obviously, the primary issues with these types of arrangements are
regulatory. For example, we cannot do the deals that we did in Canada in
the US because of concern relating to the Commodities Futures Trading
Commission.

I hope this is of some help.

Jeff

Jeff:

Hope your doing well. Pls see the note below. I assume you are the "Houston
lawyer" referred to therein. The question is whether to engage in the
management of a major c/p's power portfolio, partly on a discretionary
basis. From the outset I'm sceptical since I spot issues. Pls let me know
at your earliest convenience if you have experiences from anything of this
kind within ENA. I believe we may have touched upon this issue at your visit
to Oslo.

Subject: UPM portfolio management

The portfolio management service concept should work as follows:

They should not be required to confirm every trade
We should get approval (maybe on a weekly basis) to transact on their behalf
i.e. we agree on the taped phone on certain price levels and volumes that we
are allowed to do.
we would report (document) every trade instanstly using the risk management
system
they will have access to the system and can see the trades done (control) at
any time during the day
the system will give them more control, since they can monitor the MTM value
of their portfolio at all times

Transactions in practice

example:
we are buying on behalf of UPM

we will get the best available offer in the market
our traders will buy from the market at that price
UPM (Mid Market's portfolio manager) will then buy from the traders at the
same price
their trade will be against Enron's book at all times

This way we can get the best available price even when our traders are not
willing to take the position. So, the deals will "flow" through Enron's book.

If (and when) we get the customer we will set up a structure, where the
portfolio manager (Mid Market) has access to the outside market. I have
discussed this with Preben and he has talked to Thor as well.

Let's try to come up with a contract (draft) that we could live with and that
is easy to sign for UPM. As far as I know they have similar arrangements set
up in the states within Enron. Preben heard this from a Houston lawyer who
was visiting us a little while ago.


I'll be available on my mobile all weekend should you need my comments/help.
