Jason Marino 1018 Clarendon Road London W11 41G United Kingdom 21" April 2016 Mr. Jeffrey Epstein The Financial Trust Company 9 East 71" Street New York, NY 10021 Dear Mr. Jeffrey Epstein: I am writing to let you know that I would like to be considered for a rote in your investment management firm. I have nearly 18 years of investment management experience working for two of the largest hedge funds in the world, in addition to working for well-known value investor Michael F. Price. Like you, I started my career at Bear Stearns. I have an MBA from Wharton and completed my undergraduate degree in Economics one year early from the University of Chicago. My extensive experience would enable me to be a real asset to your firm. Specifically, I have often worked for multi-strategy funds, which would enable me to help make the best investment decision for clients across equities, fixed income, and real estate. I possess excellent risk management skills. My worst year was 2008 where I was down just -2.4%. I have been fortunate to have worked for some of the best investment managers in the business including Dan Och, Art Samberg and Michael Price. Mr. Epstein, it would be an absolute privilege to work for a world-class investor like you. I am confident that my significant work and educational experience could be of great help to you and your team. I welcome the chance to discuss a potential role at your firm. Thank you for your time.
