Greg

I was talking with George Wasaff yesterday and he recommended I touch base
with you in an effort to identify potential Enron interest in acquiring
WaterDesk assets.

WaterDesk Corp. was incubated by Azurix to provide participants in the
global water industry with a global, single-source, collaborative,
business-to-business network to efficiently source, transact and manage,
information, products and services. We are currently involved in a private
placement process that does portend some significant possibility for success
but has not had anyone circle an offer yet. Time is of the essence. Given
current market and industry realities, our priorities have changed in an
effort to maximize near term opportunity for success. Specifically, in
addition to offering investors the opportunity to invest in a public
marketplace solution, we are pursuing other avenues, such as private
marketplace or buy-side procurement solutions (which seem to be more
palatable). We are also broadening our opportunity set by seeking potential
solutions outside the water industry. Feedback from the various and numerous
entities that have performed due diligence on WaterDesk indicate that its
assets are well suited for any of these alternative solutions.

KEY ELEMENTS OF VALUE: a qualified and experienced team; intellectual
property; and, a secure, integrated and operational platform.

Bottom Line: I have committed to John Garrison that we will deliver some form
of success by February or we should "pull the plug". It would be a pity to
waste such valuable assets (human and physical). I would like to meet with
your or your designated representative(s) as soon as possible to determine
what fit, if any, there might be with Enron endeavors, current or future.

The attached provides some detailed information that may be of help as you
reflect on this.
