If you remember, you mentioned to Hines that you would have your people contact his in reference to Enron's real estate requirement in London. Well, this eager (maybe too eager) real estate broker's juices started flowing (Papa Duncan would be surprised to know that something besides Wendy gets me going)! If you need some quality competition, I have formed a strategic alliance with Trammell Crow Savills (www.trammellcrowsavills.com) specifically to pursue Enron's real estate needs in London and elsewhere in Europe. Trammell Crow Savills was formed in May to create one of the largest and most experienced full service real estate firms covering Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia. I was able to form this alliance specifically to go after your business because 4 of the top officers at Trammell Crow are friends of mine. Don Williams (Chairman), Pryor Blackwell (COO), Chuck Anderson (Regional President) and Mike Lafitte (President Dallas and Blake Poston's Godfather). In fact, Trammell Crow is hosting a golf tournament in October that will raise $70,000 for Rise Dallas! Mike Lafitte is the only one who knows that Enron is the potential prospect. So, if I have my nose where it does not belong I can shut it down without any fanfare. Could there be an opportunity to meet with Enron to sell Trammell Crow Savills for your London and/or European real estate needs? It's a long shot, I know. But, I had to take a swing!
