We've interviewed this guy before and had no interest then, have no interest
now, and won't in the future. I think he is trying to get in the door again
somehow.

Thanks. Jeff

Regarding: positions in natural gas trading

Dear Mr. Shankman:

I am writing to inquire about positions in natural gas trading with Enron
North America. I have been working with EOTT Energy Corporation for the
last four months on a temporary basis on a project involving setting up a
profit/loss report for the various regions within the United States for
EOTT's crude oil trading and marketing business. Previously, I worked in
the energy industry for over two years in trading, risk management,
structured products and marketing of electricity and natural gas for the
western United States. Additionally, I was actively involved in the
physical markets and gained a strong understanding of the western grid.
Furthermore, I am an expert in options trading and have a strong knowledge
of the commodity and financial markets. Moreover, I have also traded NYMEX
natural gas futures, options on futures, forward contracts for physical
power and options in SERC, SPP, MAAC, MAIN, ECAR and ERCOT. Finally, I
have had experience setting up/operating market simulation models and
maintaining the underlying databases for fixed income securities. Prior to
entering the energy markets, I worked as the senior trader/risk manager for
Mellon Mortgage Company in Houston, Texas. At Mellon, I positively
affected the bottom line performance of the company for over two years
through strategic trading and hedging of mortgage backed securities. I
received the Premier Achievement Award from the Chief Executive Officer for
outstanding financial performance and the Employee Choice Award from
co-workers for my tenacity and diligence in work. My expertise with listed
futures and options on futures, OTC options and swaps, as well as the
ability to positively affect the bottom line could definitely make an
impact with your team. In addition, my competitive and entrepreneurial
personality allows me to constantly look for profitable solutions or cost
effective ways of managing risk.

As you will note from the enclosed resume, I managed the trading and
hedging of the interest rate risk on mortgage loans for Mellon Mortgage
Company. The interest rate risk was managed by use of forward sales and
purchases of mortgage backed securities, put and call options on mortgage
backed securities, and 10 year CMT Index floors. In addition, futures and
options on futures on U.S. Government Treasury notes and bonds were used at
the appropriate time taking into account the basis between mortgages and
treasuries. Previously, I worked for The Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan
in New York as a proprietary trader in fixed income. Earlier, I worked for
Garvin Guybutler Corporation, a major international money and deposit
broker. Primary responsibilities at Garvin included uncovering and
executing arbitrage EuroDeposit transactions in order to enhance placement
yields and reduce borrowing costs relative to Eurodollar deposit
transactions of similar maturities. In addition, I was involved in the
brokering of Term Federal Funds, EuroDollar deposits, EuroCurrency
deposits, Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements.

It would be my pleasure to discuss these qualifications with you and learn
more about positions in natural gas trading with Enron North America.
Please contact me so we can talk about possible opportunities.

Thank you,

Rick J. Wurlitzer
