Michelle, please note that among several files that I have had delivered to
you upon my departure from Enron, please refer to the file on Cynthia
Sandherr. It contains documentation from conversations and specific
situations that ocurred during my 3+ years as HR Rep for Govt Affairs. As
the data is very sensitive and confidential, please let Constance if you have
not received it.

I have now cleared all my emails and have no more hard copies to pass along.
Feel free to call me, even when I get to Dynegy should you have any
questions! Constance has all my contact information. After tonight my
access will be disconnected to the system. My personal email address is:
pettewayg@excite.com.

Take care.

Subject: Follow-up

Cindy: As you recall, Steve Kean, Gwen Petteway, you and I met in Houston on
May 15th to discuss my job at Enron. It was my understanding that I would
receive some response from the company within a week or so after our
meeting. Gwen has updated me as to the reasons for the response delay due to
key executives being on vacation, but regardless I was led to believe I would
have heard some response around May 24th. I am getting concerned and would
like to know the company's position.

In addition, the Performance Review Process has begun for my group and is to
conclude by June 14th. I have spoken to Gwen as to my concerns as to whether
I should participate in this review process. Although I did not select them
to review me, both Steve Kean and Rick Shapiro have informed by boss, Joe
Hillings, or their intentions to review me. Given the concerns raised by me
about them during our meeting and concerns expressed to others about them on
previous occasions, I have grave reservations as to their ability to provide
an objective review of my performance.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further. My number is
202-466-9143. Many thanks.

Hi Cynthia. Can you give me idea as to when the House and Senate mark-ups of
the electricity bill take place? I am trying to determine the timeframe in
which you want to respond to Steve.

Subject: Career Advancement

Dear Cindy:

It occurred to me that I should share some addition thoughts and concerns
with you regarding my situation.

First and foremost, as I tried to make clear during our recent meeting with
Steve Kean, it is my desire to stay with the company. I have invested over
10 years with Enron and feel that I have made substantial contributions to
its success. However, I continue to be frustrated over the fact that I have
been demoted and that there has been no response to or acknowledgement of my
application for Joe Hillings' position. If I am, in fact , not going to be
considered for the position, I believe I am owed the courtesy of knowing that.

I would also argue that I have made significant progress in addressing the
"communication issues" that have of recent concern to Steve. I have had a
number of productive sessions with Jocelyne Gessner, Ph.D. of Personnel
Decisions International on successful executive relations and management, and
she informs me that, in her view, my "deficiencies" as perceived by Steve in
that area may have been overstated. Dr. Gessner has made numerous attempts
to call Steve to discuss my progress in a tripartite conversation and he has
not been responsive. While I recognize that Steve is extremely busy, it
seems to me that if he, as he stated during our meeting, really wants me to
stay with the company, he would make it a point to determine if the issues of
his concern were being addressed. If he is not interested in garnering
feedback about my sessions, one could reasonably conclude that the perceived
"communications problem" is merely a pretext.

It also continues to concern me that the restructuring of the Washington
office has been done without any written changes to my job description. Many
people within Enron with whom I have had a long-standing relationship
continue to ask me for lobbying assistance on various issues because they
have been satisfied with the results that I have obtained for them in the
past. Because some of those issues are now not my primary or secondary area
of responsibility, per the new organizational chart, I have been compelled
to refer those inquiries and requests to others. In doing so, I fear that
this could create a misperception that I am unwilling to provide customer
service to others in the company. I am sure that you would agree this could,
in the long run, hurt my chances for increased compensation and advancement.

The present legislative activity on a number of high-profile Enron
legislative issues, including the company's top priority of electricity
restructuring, has precluded me from formally responding to Steve's
separation offer. While I recognize that it was made in good faith and that
it provides a basis for further discussions, I would like to respond after
the House and Senate mark-ups of the electricity bill take place.

In the meantime, I would welcome any guidance or suggestions that you might
have, and I greatly appreciate your interest in my situation.

Cynthia
