Rick,

As Mike probably also mentioned we have the attention at the top of NIC.
Both Frevert and McConnell got a good taste of their commitment during a 5+
hour meeting two weeks ago. I will be in Houston this coming week to speak
with the different product heads about Project Sato (NIC) and help establish
some priorities with them. We should try to establish some time to speak.

Coordination on this becomes critical to show results as quickly as
possible. I plan on speaking with Eric and Jonathan next week as well.

Joe

Iwai in Particular

Joe: Mike McConnell asked me to get involved with the Nissho Iwai
discussions, in followup to the meetings that he and Mark Frevert had.

Clay and I are planning to be in korea for meetings on 4/5June. We are then
planing to come to Tokyo to see you and ePower on 6/7 June

FYI, both Clay and I have known Nissho Iwai for many,many years and, in fact,
many of the LNG contracts that Nissho is involved with are contracts that
Clay and/or I either helped put together or administered.

Will you be in Tokyo on 6/7 June?

Subject: Global LNG's Contacts with Japanese Trading Companies, Nissho Iwai
in Particular

Joe:

Following up on my phone conversation with Morten Erik today and in advance
of your meetings in Houston next week, I would like to brief you about Enron
Global LNG's recent contacts with Japanese trading companies.

We have tabled master spot LNG SPAs, in both FOB and ex-ship form, with
Mitsubishi, Nissho Iwai, Itochu and Mitsui with the objective to discuss,
negotiate and conclude these contractual arrangements by late fall this year.

Nissho Iwai represents a special case, though. In addition to our
discussions on the master spot LNG purchase contracts, we had previously
talked with NIC about possible access to some of the LNG shipping capacity
they control. Also, during my meeting with Nissho Iwai earlier this week,
they showed keen interest in connecting with Enron Global LNG's team
developing the U.S. West Coast terminal opportunities. NIC, with some other
Japanese partners, has apparently been trying to develop a specific site in
California (offshore concept) for some time and is now looking for a
suitable, strong U.S. partner. There will be an exploratory meeting held on
this issue in Houston between Kurt Lindahl and NIC representatives (both from
Tokyo and New York) probably in early June.

Please let me know if you need more information on this subject.

Regards,

Zdenek Gerych
