Heart= y=20 congratulations and all good wishes for an even more successful time ahead= =20 taking Enron from strength to even greater strength.=20 No doubt you will visit India in the near future and I look forward to=20 meeting you again.=20 Season's greetings, a merry Christmas and all happiness and success in 2001= .
