From: Brenda F Herod 07/26/2000 01:14 PM To: Eric Bass/HOU/ECT@ECT, David Baumbach/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Steve Venturatos/HOU/ECT@ECT, Michael Taylor/ENRON@Gateway, George Smith/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: I need your help!! Michael Taylor is a summer intern from LSU, finance major, who has been working in Logistics for the Central Desk. He will be at ENA for the next couple of weeks (through 8/11, I believe). He has not had an opportunity to really see our business from the trading perspective or Risk perspective. I had the opportunity to have lunch with Mike yesterday, and we brainstormed on some options to get him some exposure to these areas prior to leaving ENA. THis where I need your help! Eric - As I always do, I sang your praises to Mike, and I thought you would be a good person for Mike to sit with to observe your current role in the analyst program on the Texas Trading Desk. Additionally, since you were in Risk also, I thought you could give him an insightful perspective of how the Risk experience has helped you to move to your current role. If you can swing it, I think it would be great if Mike could sit with you one day, and you could explain to him your job, your thoughts behind your actions, the data you watch, etc. Obviously, the intent is educational, not interference. So I will leave it to the two of you to work out the best approach and timing. Dave - As I mentioned to you yesterday, I sang your praises also to Mike, and I'm glad the two of you were able to meet. As we discussed, Mike would like to have some exposure to the Risk role, so it would be nice if he could sit with the group when the books and position are being calced. I will leave it to the two of you to coordinate the day. Mike's current role in Logistics brings him into the office at 4:00am to prepare the morning report. As I understand it, his responsibilities are critical up until trading. So late morning and early afternoon might be the best time, but you all can work through it. When he sits with Risk, he'll probably go home and them return when you all start calcing. George - Obviously Mike's first responsibilities are to Central Logistics, and these other opportunities are really on his own time. We just thought it would be good for him to have a Risk/Trading perspective when he is trying to evaluate job opportunities. I appreciate your support in this, but please let me know if you have any concerns. When Mike leaves Enron, he will be going to Seattle to participate in MicroSoft's co-op program for the reaminder of 2000. Obviously, he will have a great company to compare us to but at the end of the day, we want to ensure he has a great perspective on the opportunities that Enron can offer. I appreciate your time to help Mike.
