U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Southern District of Florida 500 S. Australian Ave, Ste 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Facsimile: a September 17, 2008 DELIVERY BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Jay P. Lefkowitz, Esq. Kirkland & Ellis LLP Citigroup Center 153 East 53rd Street New York, New York 10022-4675 Roy Black, Esq. Black Srebnick Kornspan & Stumpf P.A. 201 S. Biscayne Blvd, Suite 1300 Miami, FL 33131 Jack A. Goldberger, Esq. Atterbury, Goldberger & Weiss, P.A. One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400 250 Australian Ave S. West Palm Beach, FL 33401-5015 Re: Jeffrey Epstein Dear Jay, Roy, and Jack: On today's date, our Office received an inquiry from State Attorney Barry Krischer related to the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with the terms of that Agreement, I am notifying you of this development. State Attorney Krischer has been contacted by counsel for the Palm Beach Daily News asking why the Non-Prosecution Agreement is under seal in order to determine whether to file suit asking that it be unsealed. I have informed State Attorney Krischer that the Agreement contains a confidentiality clause requiring us to provide Mr. Epstein's counsel with notice prior to making any disclosure (compulsory or otherwise). Since Mr. Epstein is a party to that criminal case, he has standing to contest any unsealing, while we do not. Accordingly, I ask that you confer with Mr. Krischer regarding how you would like to proceed with the matter. I also want to reiterate the concern I raised in my letter of August 15, 2008, that the complete Non-Prosecution Agreement, which includes the October Addendum, has not been filed with the Court in accordance with the Judge's order. Please advise that this issue has been resolved. Thank you for your attention to these matters. Sincerely, R. Alexander Acosta United States Attorney By: Assistant United States Attorney cc: Ba Krischer, State Attorney Chief, Northern Division EFTA00189911
