Dear 
I received your email yesterday and was a little surprised at the tone of your letter, given the fact that we 
spoke last week and had what I thought was a productive meeting. I was especially surprised given that your 
letter arrived on only the second day back to work after the Thanksgiving Holiday, and yet your demands

We do, however, strongly and emphatically object to your sending a letter to the alleged victims. Without a 
fair opportunity to review and the ability to make objections to this letter, it is completely unacceptable that you 
would send it without our consideration. Additionally, given that the US Attorney's office has made clear it 
cannot vouch for the claims of the victims, it would be incendiary and inappropriate for your Office to send such 
a letter. Indeed, because it is a certainty that any such letter would immediately be leaked to the press, your 
actions will only have the effect of injuring Mr. Epstein and promoting spurious civil litigation directed at him.

of such lawsuits.
