EMISSIONS TRADING AT ATLANTIC ENERGY

Nolan Darien walked into his neat Charlotte office, switched on his computer and checked his email “Inbox.” He saw an email marked “Urgent” that Joel Herendon, the VP of Environment, had received from the CEO and forwarded. The email read:

Nolan,

Please dig up some background information and draft action items for a reply to Max's email. Top priority as you can see. I'll need a memo in my box by COB tomorrow on how we should approach this.

Thanks, Joel
