They are ok with it. Just make sure you document it as desc= ribed in this e-mail. P.S. There is no bigger matter to deal with than your bill. This must be t= he kind of half--truths that made you the most hated man in Sacramento. -----Original Message----- From: =09"Michael Kirby" @ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-+22Michael= +20Kirby+22+20+3Cmlk+40pkns+2Ecom+3E+40ENRON@ENRON.com]=20 Sent:=09Wednesday, September 19, 2001 4:14 PM To:=09Sanders, Richard B. Cc:=09Annmarie Robertson Subject:=09Billings My accounting department advises me that back on April 27,2001, Enron appa= rently sent us a check for $54,585.11, which we received and deposited on M= ay 7. The check included the payment of $28,087.71 for this firm (the exac= t amount of our February billing) and mistakenly included payment of $26,49= 7.40 for one of Ed Kee's (PA Consulting Group) bills. That check was receiv= ed after we sent our March billing and is thus not reflected on that bill. = The full amount of that check showed up as a May 7 payment to us from Enron= on our April billing, and reduced the outstanding balance by that amount. = Whereas the total balance due shown on the April statement sent to Enron wa= s $44,772.92, if the overpayment had not been made , the true balance due w= ould have been $26,497.40 higher. Given the delay in sending our bills, and= the accumulation of additional time, there was never a credit balance on a= billing to Enron, but the total balances due always included credit for th= e prior overpayment. We are about to send out our July billing today and ou= r accounting department(Annmarie Robertson) got a call from Martha at Enron= (345-4088) who realized what happened and asked for a refund check. We can = and will obviously do that , but then we have to immediately ask Enron for = that same amount-$26,497.40- because our prior bills would have been underp= aid by that same amount. I am told that we cannot easily(if at all) go back= and have the computer generate previous months' bills now with an unpaid b= alance when they were previously paid. My accounting department says it wou= ld be easier to just send out the July billing with a cover letter confirm= ing that the $26,497.40 erroneously paid to us on May 7 has been credited i= n full to Enron, and is fully reflected in the total balance due. Hopefull= y this makes sense and I know we both have bigger matters to deal with. Ca= n you approve us doing this or send us an email if Enron needs to get a che= ck and revised billings. Thanks. .
