Enron Mail |
Gentlemen:
Several points regarding the below: We worked for the first half of 1999 to try and negotiate a master agreement with TDCC but failed due to an inability to agree on credit terms (i.e. TDCC wouldn't sign a master with ANY credit terms in it at all). Rod Nelson was the Credit Dept. person responsible for this counterparty at that time. If we want to start down this road again, the first step is to contact someone in Credit and have them generate the necessary credit terms for a master agreement. Unless the commercial folks have already, I'll ask someone in my group to get that process started. The e-mail from Dow indicates: "TDCC has never accepted and cannot accept the Terms and Conditions included in the confirmations sent by Enron." All credit concerns aside, if Dow is not signing and returning our confirmations, then based on this statement our derivatives trading with them should stop immediately on legal grounds. The e-mail as forwarded to me did not contain the attachment. Does someone here have it? Let's hope it works out better this time.
