[Joannie: Thanks for bringing this to JS' attention ...]  Jeff:  {In this headwind funding environment, I am looking for some quick decisions for our small, world-class computational trading group ... we are open to an acquisition / controlling interest, etc.
I have had some conversations with Brandon Wax ... in my prior life, I have had some interactions with Gerald Chan, brother of one of your board members.
We are also talking to eSpeed, some Chicago Exchanges in a similar vein ...}  Our group of 15 (Carnegie Mellon technologists + trading / capital markets experts) located in Pittsburgh brings - strong e-market thought leadership (global trading outlook) - patent-pending technology that can help compare / trade "almost" standardized goods and services - this is a missing link in today's e-markets!
- robust sales pipeline and small revenue (seven-figures) - low-cost, central hub location (with great access to Carnegie Mellon Professors / Research / Students) - experienced entrepreneurs  / technologists who are happy to be "intrapreneurs" in this environment.
We could make a positive impact on EnronCredit, BroadBand Services as well as your core energy business.
I am enclosing a couple of attachments to give you an idea of who we are ...
I can provide more info.
if there is interest.
Can we chat for a few minutes ASAP - I believe you will find this opportunity to be compelling that can make your "market making" empire more analytical, computational and above all, more profitable!
Thanks & cheers
