I have been working with EOTT Energy Corporation for the last four months on a temporary basis on a project involving setting up a profit/loss report for the various regions within the United States for EOTT's crude oil trading and marketing business. Previously, I worked in the energy industry for over two years in trading, risk management, structured products and marketing of electricity and natural gas for the western United States. Additionally, I was actively involved in the physical markets and gained a strong understanding of the western grid. Furthermore, I am an expert in options trading and have a strong knowledge of the commodity and financial markets. Moreover, I have also traded NYMEX natural gas futures, options on futures, forward contracts for physical power and options in SERC, SPP, MAAC, MAIN, ECAR and ERCOT. Finally, I have had experience setting up/operating market simulation models and maintaining the underlying databases for fixed income securities. Prior to entering the energy markets, I worked as the senior trader/risk manager for Mellon Mortgage Company in Houston, Texas. At Mellon, I positively affected the bottom line performance of the company for over two years through strategic trading and hedging of mortgage backed securities. I received the Premier Achievement Award from the Chief Executive Officer for outstanding financial performance and the Employee Choice Award from co-workers for my tenacity and diligence in work. My expertise with listed futures and options on futures, OTC options and swaps, as well as the ability to positively affect the bottom line could definitely make an impact with your team. In addition, my competitive and entrepreneurial personality allows me to constantly look for profitable solutions or cost effective ways of managing risk. As you will note from the enclosed resume, I managed the trading and hedging of the interest rate risk on mortgage loans for Mellon Mortgage Company. The interest rate risk was managed by use of forward sales and purchases of mortgage backed securities, put and call options on mortgage backed securities, and 10 year CMT Index floors. In addition, futures and options on futures on U.S. Government Treasury notes and bonds were used at the appropriate time taking into account the basis between mortgages and treasuries. Previously, I worked for The Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan in New York as a proprietary trader in fixed income. Earlier, I worked for Garvin Guybutler Corporation, a major international money and deposit broker. Primary responsibilities at Garvin included uncovering and executing arbitrage EuroDeposit transactions in order to enhance placement yields and reduce borrowing costs relative to Eurodollar deposit transactions of similar maturities. In addition, I was involved in the brokering of Term Federal Funds, EuroDollar deposits, EuroCurrency deposits, Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements. It would be my pleasure to discuss these qualifications with you and learn more about positions in natural gas trading with Enron North America. Please contact me so we can talk about possible opportunities. Thank you, Rick J. Wurlitzer (281)251-6210 E-Mail: rwurlitzer@juno.com - WurlitzerResume3YNMnLSBMIDVASnolicHEOTEnron.doc
