Thanks for the update. If any of them would like to contact me, that would
be fine. I've already talked to Nigel. Thanks. Hope you are well.....Jeff Caroline Abramo@ENRON 10/31/2000 07:35 AM To: Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Per Sekse/NY/ECT@ECT Subject: Bankers Trust / Deutsche downsizing Jeff- a couple of weeks ago, BT decided to close the Houston office and move the 6 people they have to New York - only 1 or 2 will go up there. I just thought I'd tell you my thoughts of the Houston people - I worked with most for 4 years. I know you probably know most of them. Nigel Patterson- basically trained me - he is the NYMEX trader- worked for BT almost 13 years in London, NY, and Houston . Andy Zipper trained him. He's a good trader - traded currencies, commods (metals, energy). He could trade any of our products- would be especially good at new businesses. He has been in Houston for 4 years and is originally from New Zealand- has a wife and 2 girls. Vice President. Calvin Schlenker- ran Calgary office for 2 years before we shut it in 1997- he then took on head of marketing role in Houston - his successes have been with producers - being able to exploit lending and hedging. Most recently, he's been trading the nat gas options book. Very smart guy with good ideas- analytical and conceptual- he'd be VERY good with Per's syndication efforts or credit derivative initiative. Knows gas and crude. He is Canadian- ex-wife and 2 kids. Director. Steve Provenzano - basis trader - very good contacts in the industry. Worked for MG before BT. He did a lot of marketing with me. Because he's done both trading and marketing, he's got a good edge with customers. Only has gas experience. He is likely to go to New York but recently got married and has a kid on the way. Director. Also, Deutsche's two head oil traders in London just quit- but I am not sure what they are doing yet- will find out. That is Janelle Matharoo and Jason Thiel (MD and Director)- both been with BT almost 15 years- very good traders- always in London. Jason used to be BT's head gold trader: Janelle has also traded metals. Looks like Deutsche is crumbling on energy- I know they have added a few crude traders in NY to service their hedge fund clients (our prospective clients) but they have not been able to pull everything together- they are loosing all the key people in the business. I'd like to help in the process of pulling some of these people in if we have the desire. Kind Regards, Caroline
