I am extrem= ely proud of Enron and our many successes. The creativity and collective br= ainpower at Enron is unmatched in the industry. I attended the All Employee= meeting you held before I left for vacation. I left with a strengthened r= esolve and commitment to Enron. I thought a lot about your very effective h= andling of the issues in front of us. I am extremely disappointed in many o= f the prevailing negative attitudes internally and particularly some of the= terribly disrespectful questions and comments thrown at you in the meeting= . You as always handled the situation with grace, humor and poise. You have= tremendous support internally despite what I perceive to be a relatively s= poiled group of people who have no concept how good we all have it despite = our current issues. I have total faith in our management team and am happy = to see a very proactive offensive underway. Thank you for your commitment t= o Enron and know that many of us long term employees know from experience w= e will beat these challenges. The daily communication updates are forthrigh= t and honest and help people better understand what is going on.=20 I hope you can disengage and find some enjoyment this weekend! Michelle
