To the attention of:
Mr Jeffrey K. Skilling President and Chief Executive Officer Enron Dear Mr Skilling, These are extraordinary times for all of us, and I want to share with you important news concerning our next Annual Meeting. The events of 11 September and their aftermath have created a special interest in our upcoming Annual Meeting. We all share the understanding that we are living in a new era of fragility and are looking for signposts that establish a way forward. Participation in our Annual Meeting of top business, political, intellectual and civil society leaders promises to make our Annual Meeting, more than ever before, the place where we confront our problems head-on. This calls for an Annual Meeting that is much more interactive than in the past. We therefore have developed a programme concept designed to engage our Members and participants in dynamic discussion and problem solving on key aspects of the Global Agenda. We appeal to you to consult the programme concept from 15 November onwards on our website (http://www.weforum.org) and to provide us with your feedback as soon as possible. In order to develop a road map of international cooperation for the future, we believe the most pressing issues for us to tackle are reversing the global economic slowdown, bridging the poverty and educational divides, enhancing security and improving cultural understanding throughout the world. With these as our goals, we felt that New York would be the ideal place for our next Annual Meeting. The decision has the enthusiastic approval of the Forum's Foundation Board and Business Council as well as the full support of Governor George Pataki and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The Annual Meeting 2002 will represent an unparalleled effort to mobilize all the leaders behind our mission: to bring business and society together in partnership to improve the state of the world. We will work closely with your staff to provide all necessary information related to travel, accommodation and security. The Meeting will start on Thursday 31 January and end on Monday 4 February 2002. The principal location will be the Hotel Waldorf Astoria. We will spare no efforts to make sure that the informal spirit of Davos and its hard-working atmosphere are not only preserved but intensified, and that the Meeting will be truly outstanding in its collective impact. We are confident that we can count on you to give this exceptional "Davos in New York" your full support and engagement. Klaus Schwab Founder and President World Economic Forum
