Subject: A meeting to discuss progression of markets




Jeff:

As Brian may have told you, I am now based in London.  I remain responsible 
for
all BNP Paribas commodity brokerage.

I am writing to inquire if Enron would be interested in comparing and 
discussing
its experience in commodity exchanges, electronic markets and related matters.
As you know, the exchange (IPE/NYMEX) business is on the verge of electronic
transformation, your views on this and associated issues would be invaluable 
to
us.  I have two objectives in mind for such a discussion.  Firstly, I wish to
insure that BNP Paribas continue to provide Enron with a useful service.
Secondly, perhaps there is potential of commercial collaboration in this area.
Please let me know if you would be interested in a meeting.


with best regards,

Jonathan Arginteanu
Managing Director
BNP Paribas Commodity Futures
