I am a derivatives lawyer with ENA in Houston and obtained your name through
one of my traders who is transacting with Jay Carr in Houston (please see
attached message below). When I spoke with Jay earlier this month, I asked
him for the name of a lawyer but was advised that all Vitol lawyers were in
New York and that he would pass my message along to a lawyer. I am assuming
that you are the trading lawyer who can assist me with negotiating an ISDA
Master Agreement between our respective companies. If not, please let me
know and feel free to pass this message on to the appropriate attorney. On
April 12, 1995, Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp., predecessor in title
to ENA, and Vitol S.A., Inc. entered into a Master Agreement which is one of
ENA's early energy price swap agreements. Since our companies are currently
trading weather derivatives, I think you would agree that it would be prudent
to supersede the existing agreement with an ISDA Master Agreement. This
relates to my conversation with Jay in that we confirmed our weather deals
under the existing master but incorporated the 1991 and 1993 ISDA definitions
into the confirms of our weather trades. Please let me hear from you. You
can reach me via email, phone (713/853-5620) or fax (713/646-3490).

Jay: I am a lawyer with Enron. I called for you on Friday, you're out, and
no one else could help. I would like to speak with a Vitol lawyer about (1)
replacing our existing financial master with an ISDA (to accommodate a
broader range of products) and (2) specifically incorporating the relevant
ISDA definitions into the recent weather transaction confirmations even
though the master is an early master energy price swap agreement. Please
call me at 713 853-5620 with the information so that we can move quickly.
Thank you for your help. Sara
