5850 Beltline Road Dallas, TX 75254 dougancil1@hotmail.com To Mr. Ken Lay, I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees. Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out. And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year. As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt. The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it. Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings. I also know that you and your wife are both claiming that you are on the verge of bankruptcy. I think you owe it as a CEO and as a human to deal with your ex employees financial struggles first as it was you and your companies business decisions who put them out of work and took their retirement money from them. While the jury is out consider that most of America is now learning the truth about you and your company and how they fooled the public into believing that your company was above board and worth investing in. It is through the actions of people like you Mr. Lay and the people that you have working for you that give me, the not so typical American, digust, anger and resentment towards big business. Sincerely, Doug Ancil
