PROPOSED JOINT LETTER TO THE SPECIAL MASTER 
Re: special Master: Privileged and Confidential 
Dear Sir: 
The undersigned, as counsel for the United States of America and Jeffrey Epstein, 
jointly write to you to provide information relevant to your service as a Special Master in the 
selection of an attorney to represent several young women who may have civil damages 
claims against Mr. Epstein. 
The U.S. Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (jointly referred 
to as the "United States") have conducted an investigation of Jeffrey Epstein regarding his 
solicitation of minor females in Palm Beach County to engage in prostitution. Mr. Epstein, 
through his assistants, would recruit underage females to travel to his home in Palm Beach 
to engage in lewd conduct in exchange for money. Based upon the investigation, the United 
States has identified 40 young women who can be characterized as victims pursuant to 18 
U.S.C. § 2255. Some of those women went to Mr. Epstein's home only once, some went 
there as much as 100 times or more. Some of the women's conduct was limited to 
performing a topless or nude massage while Mr. Epstein masturbated himself. For other 
women, the conduct escalated to full sexual intercourse. 
As part of the resolution of the case, Mr. Epstein agreed that he would not contest 
jurisdiction in the Southern District of Florida for any victim who chose to sue him for 
damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255. Mr. Epstein agreed to provide an attorney for victims 
who elected to proceed exclusively pursuant to that section, and agreed to waive any 
challenge to liability under that section up to an amount agreed to by the parties. 
EFTA00213745
Page 7 / 41
The parties have agreed to submit the selection of an attorney to a Special Master. 
Attached hereto is a list of five attorneys whom the parties have agreed should be considered 
by the Special Master for selection. Also attached hereto is a memorandum explaining the 
anticipated duties and responsibilities of the attorney who is selected, and that portion of the 
agreement between the United States and Mr. Epstein addressing the attorney's role. Each 
attorney has provided some background information regarding his or her practice, 
experience, and other relevant factors. The Special Master may contact any or all of those 
attorneys for additional information, as the Special Master deems appropriate. Each party 
will also provide the Special Master with a list of the criteria that the party believes should 
be considered in making the selection. If the Special Master has any questions regarding the 
criteria, he may contact the relevant party to inquire further, as he deems appropriate. 
The parties ask that the Special Master "rank" the top three attorneys, in case one or 
more has a conflict that prevents him or her from accepting the representation. 
The parties thank you for your willingness to conduct this task as a pro bona public° 
matter. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further information.

Good morning, Jay. We need to resolve the attorney 
issue today. It has been weeks since execution of the 
contract, and there is no need for further delay. 
As far as the five attorney names 
providing, I propose Bert Ocariz, 
Podhurst Orseck, Stuart Grossman, 
Walter Cobath. 
that we will be 
Katherine Ezell at 
Ed Rogers, and 
If you would like to use the same Special Master to 
resolve fees disputes as well as to handle the 
selection of the attorney, I would recommend that we 
use retired 11th Circuit Judge Joseph Hatchett instead 
of Judge Davis because of Judge Davis's health 
problems. (No one has contacted Judge Hatchett yet, 
but one of the District Judges in Miami mentioned him 
as a good choice.) 
I am available for a conference call between 9:00 and 
10:00, and between 3:15 and 6:00. Please call me on 
my cell 
and let me know which of those 
times works best or you. 
Thank you.
