Mark, I really don't think we need to have this all hands mtg - in particular
I don't want to drag Lou into this discussion again.

I will be in Houston next week and we can discuss if you want to. The idea
here was not to explain the retail product offering or any concern of
dropping the ball, rather a one off download of where we currently stand in
South America and high level overview of how to work together to keep
everyone on the same sheet of music and not miss a beat. For instance,
there is already a local staff in place to handle initial deal flow (which is
already happening) that needs to benefit from Dan's systems and best
practices, but which has already based what they are doing on how Dan
operates. We have always benefited from as much of Dan's and Marty's
attention as we could get over the past year and a half as we set this up.
By the same token we can't be competitive in this business in Brazil on a
cost basis from Houston, so that is why we have formed local staff based on
EES systems and practices, and hopefully some controls as we go forward. It
is late here and my assistant is gone but I think the meeting is already
scheduled. If you can't be there maybe we can backbrief you.

Jim, I really don't see a need for this meeting - you can count on us not
dropping the ball. I have a good understanding of the retail product
offering, in fact, we lead the outsourcing sales process for the large
industrial customers in NA until EES bought back their minority
shareholders. I have a very good relationship with Dan Leff and Sunde. I
already have Dan's committment to help service the execution of the business
initially. As it grows and the product proves itself out we can staff.

Regards
Delainey

My assistant will be putting together a meeting/conference call for next
WEdnesday on how to move forward with retail in South America given the plan
to have retail report through the wholesale group in South America for 2001.
Key points for discussion will be:

-brief overview of the state of the retail business in South America
-brief overview of the current retail organization and how it would report
through wholesale
-discussion of how we move from where we are currently (good value
proposition, customer's signed up, organization to implement) to make the
retail business a success:
-by having an interface with EES for best practices, systems, etc.,
-under wholesale budget and organization for simplicity and cost sake


Wednesday is Mark's first day back in the office from Europe, Dan will be in
Europe, Orlando will be in Brazil, others I believe in Houston, so we will
try to accomodate everyone's schedules or at least get a quorum of those
involved present on the call/meeting.
