I have to say t= hat despite all the difficulties we have had to endure over the past few mo= nths, Enron remains the best place I have ever worked.This is due, in no sm= all part, to the great people I share this place with.=20 I also owe you an overdue e-mail on the Mexico matter. As I had indicated, = I have decided not to take the offer. I have spoken to a number of friends = and associates who live in Monterrey and their views are pretty unanimous: = Monterrey is a great place to live if one is already settled with a family,= but it is altogther different and more difficult for a single man. Theref= ore, despite the professional opportunity to work with a great team, I have= decided not accept the offer.=20 Many thanks for keeping me in mind, being patient, and moving things along= . I will be in touch in the next couple of days.

In that memo, I included a quote that went as follows ? "What we do= in life echoes through eternity". I think of these words often and believ= e them more than ever, particularly after the events, both external and int= ernal to Enron, of the last few months. I do not know for sure what the ne= xt few weeks or months will bring for any of us, but I do know that what we= 've done here at Enron in Government Affairs over the last several years, w= hether in Houston, Washington, London, Brussels, Sao Paulo, etc. was very g= ood and will be remembered for the positive difference that we have all mad= e in the industries in which we have worked and for each other. We even ha= d a good time doing it. The good work we do will go on for many, if not, a= ll of us . . . for some, here; for others, elsewhere. =20 =09Regardless of what the future holds, we should all be quite proud of wha= t we have accomplished here and how it has been accomplished. My personal = appreciation for all that you have done as well as at having had the opport= unity to be part of a group that, unfortunately, will be inalterably impact= ed and changed over the next few weeks, is boundless. Irrespective of wher= e these changes may take any one of us, I will continue to do all I can to = earn your trust and respect. =20 =09On a more holiday-related note, for those in the U.S., who are working t= his week, please feel free to leave as early as possible on Wednesday in ad= vance of Thanksgiving to spend time with your families or loved ones. For = those not celebrating the American Thanksgiving, you too should try and tak= e some additional time for yourself and families over the next few days, wo= rk and business demands permitting. =09Thank you. =09Ginger Dernehl =09Administrative Coordinator =09Global Government Affairs =09Phone# 713-853-7751 =09Fax# 713-646-8160
