John,

Just to keep you in the loop. I've been asked to assist with this effort. I
am more than happy to do so. I'm going to use consultants and charge it
directly to Enron Canada.

Beth

Mark and Beth;

Further to our discussions, I have followed up with Beth to talk about
resources to build the Enron Canada retail business. She has suggested the
we use Cap Gemini to help convert Daniel's systems for the Canadian
business. I have also given Beth a name of a systems guy that came
recommended that would be an employee here to help translate the differences
in the markets and would ultimately be the Dan Maitland of Canada to look
after the product as we build the business.

I think that it would be very helpful to have Daniel involved in the scoping
due to his familiarity with the systems and the settlement requirements with
the wires and pipes companies. If Daniel could direct the development out of
London, that would be great as well. I heard that he did a great job on the
Spanish effort.

Dave Delainey and John Lavorato are supportive of building this business here
and the Canadian president(Rob Milnthorp) is also keen to grow this
business. I think that we can be much more effective using the UK systems
than trying to build our own from scratch. I would rather build this without
looking to the EES IT resources out of Houston, as I believe that we will be
more successful importing the latest ED systems and modifying them for this
market in time for market opening--just 2 months away.

I really appreciate your help on this, and hope that we can work together to
deliver another success to Enron as a whole. I'm sure glad that I know you
guys as I know that I will end up with a product that works for us. Don't
worry, I will not try any coding myself.

Best regards to you both, and I hope you are staying DRY in wet old London
Mark.

Cheers,

Dave
