Subject: Hello from Tulsa CONFIDENTIAL Good morning, gentlemen. Mutual colleagues in the energy industry have suggested that I contact you directly about joining the Enron organization in a senior legal or business capacity. I relocated from San Francisco to Tulsa in 1996 when I was recruited to join MAPCO in a General Counsel's position. A year later, MAPCO was acquired by Williams, where I have served as one of four Associate General Counsel. I have now learned that in a merger (even one billed as a merger of equals), it is preferable to be on the buyer's side rather than to be included among those who have been acquired!!! Thus, I am seeking new opportunities at the Deputy/Associate General Counsel level. Williams and Enron share many of the same businesses, operations and values. The experience gained at MAPCO/Williams, coupled with general leadership and management skills, is easily portable to another energy company. Moreover, the Company's current difficulties may create the need for a senior lawyer with substantial litigation, government investigation and policy advocacy experience. I get to Houston often and would very much like to meet with you even if only for an exploratory discussion. My CV is attached; also, I will send to you, under separate cover, a profile which was published in Diversity & the Bar magazibe, the quarterly insert to Corporate Counsel Monthly. My office telephone number is 918-523-3354; I look forward to meeting with you shortly. Thank you for your consideration. Very sincerely, Kirk G. Forrest - Cv-1.doc
