Vince/Vasant:
This relates to my early coversation with Ed today. He requested our help in puting together a text for the Accenture project, which is about recreating the Derivatives I, II, II classes in an electronic/interactive environment. As he pointed out, it would be nice to have the first assignment for early next week. I agree with Vasant in terms of being almost impossible to get something ready by tomorrow. Vasant also sugested that we use the Technical Corner Articles as a source for this. Maybe Sam may help on that. Whatever we do, however, we would like to have you review the final text. I will get back to Ed on that today. Please advise. -----Original Message----- From: McMichael Jr., Ed Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 9:27 AM To: Issler, Paulo Subject: Accenture Project Thanks for helping out with this need. Here is the information that I need your help with: Assignment #1 Two-Three paragraphs of content for each of the following areas: 1) Price Risk 2) Basis Risk Outlines to Help Guide You When Writing Price Risk Definition of price risk Volatility High-level discussion of how a trader/structurer will hedge against daily price movements Two or three examples showing how price movements affect a trader's position Basis Risk Definition of a basis risk High-level discussion of how a trader/structurer will hedge against basis risk (i.e. what are the components of a deal that a trader/structurer must identify in order to effectively hedge basis risk) Two examples highlighting basis risk within a deal ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Assignment #2 Natural Gas Markets First few paragraphs on: What is Natural Gas a mixture of?

A couple of paragraphs on: Deregulation - timeline Level of liquidity in the market Volatility in this market It would be great if I could get Assignment #1 sometime tomorrow, however, early next week is OK. Assignment #2 is not as time sensitive and I would like to know if you think that it is even something you could respond to. Please advise. As we discussed, original is preferred, but certainly not necessary. If you want to use other resources, please do so and footnote just your sources. Also, if you need to postpone the options training class on 10/19 to respond to this request, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks, Ed x37657
