HI Mika...Jeffrey has not responded to me as of yet
II I want to give you our office address:
Lesley Groff
HBRK
575 Lexington Ave, 4th Floor
I really think all the below is fine and if you want to start drafting up the documents, please do! If there are any
small changes that need to be made it should be simple enough(?) I have asked Jeffrey's attorney what company
name to use as the girls employer, but he has not replied back to me either... I think it might be Southern Trust
Company (STC) I very much appreciate your quick responses!
Hope you have a good weekend.
Lesley

Sure, I believe I can send you the letters for the application of the Japanese short-term business visa, which
need to be provided from Japan side, by the end of next week.
The CEO of Lofiwork will be back to Tokyo from her trip next Tuesday. We need her signatures on the letters.
In the meantime, can you let me know the following?
I) Occupations of the applicants
Can we specific more?
Maybe can we put their occupations as "Executive Assistant to Mr Jeffrey Epstein, CEO of J. Epstein & Co. (or
whichever company he owns)"?
2) Purpose of invitation
I believe Joi has asked Jeffrey if the following works, but I am not sure whether he confirmed or not. Can you
confirm if it works, just in case?
"Visiting Lofiwork to discuss collaboration on supporting startups interested in launching in Japan as well and
bringing Japanese startups to the US. Jeffrey advises a number of investors in the US interested in expanding
their investment focus to Japan and will be presenting their interests in addition to his own."
3) Mailing address of your office
EFTA00349410
I will send the documents to you by Fedex, when ready.
Please let me know the address and phone number of your office.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Mika

Lesley, we're happy to host the business visa so let us know.
Also, let me know when Jeffrey's actually "locked in" for the trip. Mika and I need to juggle my schedule a
bit if we're sure that Jeffrey's going to Japan.

Hi Mika. I actually booked the hotel and flights through Amex Centurion. They don't provide the paper
work we will need. But let me see what I can find out today and will present to Jeffrey
Wanted to let you know I have been emailing with the Manager of the Andaz (Ellie) and she has flagged
Jeffrey's reservations as VIP! Thank you! Will get back to you soon. Lesley

Please let me add some idea for tourist visa.
Why don't you consult with Amex Centurion? They might be able to introduce you a travel agency
which can host their visits as tourism.
But you might need to book flights and hotel through that agency.
Best,
Mika

Hi Lesley,
As you can see on the file with the details of the visa procedure for Russians, which I have downloaded
for you, from the Japanese Foreign Ministry site, the procedure for the tourist visa is almost the same as
the business visa.
The difference is that a Japanese travel agency needs to be a host and issue all those letters and trip
schedule, instead of a Japanese company for a business visa.
If you can hire a Japanese travel agency somehow for booking their travels, that can be an option.
But since we don't know any agency in Japan, we can't help for tourist visa.
There's no simple tourist visa for Russians in Japan, unfortunately.
Best regards,
Mika

Mika can you somehow check? Basically depends on whether these is a simple tourist visa for those
countries.
