During the recent Board meeting with Goldman Sachs, our Enron strategy was discussed and we indicated our correspondance with you. All of us are very exited and working on ways of initiating the process. Moreover, due to the strategic nature of partnership, our Management has also decided to invest in developing this association. I would discuss the proposition (from our Senior Management) during a telecon and you could assess the feasibility. Meanwhile, some areas that we are currently working with Goldman Sachs, Nortel, Chevron, HP, etc are indicated below and we could replicate the same with Enron: 1. Module Development or enhancements to existing applications - Portal - Adaptor/Connector Development - Integrating online trading apps with Back End systems - Ariba customization/enhancements - Content Management - e-Procurement & EBPP - other application specific integration 2. Maintenance & enhancements (Could be done in India for cost saving and round the clock operations) 3. Re-engineering, Migration and porting for your existing applications 4. QA Andy, we are confident that this proposition of ours would be very attractive and would go a long way in developing a strong association. Could we discuss our business proposition this week ? I could call your admin assistant tommorow (6/5) and fix up a suitable time for the call (10 - 15 Minutes Max.) We could follow this up with a technical meeting to identify specific areas, should you feel comfortable with our proposition. Looking forward to our discussions.

Moreoever, our development labs in India could add great value for your module development, ongoing support, maintenance, QA, Porting work; deploying a very low cost structure. 1.
