Enron has been a life changing experience. A positive life changing experi= ence! I wish that it wasn't all ending this way (as I am sure you are) but= even knowing what I know now, I would still have joined Enron. I like man= y people in Enron have come from much smaller, provincial companies that ha= d a more traditional culture. While they may been more stable, they never = would have presented the high quality work opportunities that Enron did. I= have become a more employable and confident person because of Enron. Whil= e there were some aspects of the company's culture and practices that I fou= nd questionable, there's no question that my life will be better because I = joined your company. Enron gave me a chance to escape a mediocre professio= nal life and allowed me to realize what I am capable of -- and many compani= es can't lay claim to that. I don't know what my immediate future holds-- = but I'm sure it will be better than if I had stayed with my old employer. = Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I'm sure these are trying days for you and I sense that the work you are do= ing now is more of a labor of love than any type of obligation. Good luck = in the future. =20 Best Regards, VV Rao, Director, Origination, Global LNG Group
