U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Southern District of Florida 500 South Australian Ave., Suite 400 iVest Palm Beach, FL 33401 Facsimile: December 8, 2008 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Ms. Re: Jeffrey Epstei Notification of Work Release Dear MJ By virtue of this letter, the United States Attorney's Office hereby provides you with notice that the U.S. Attorney's Office has learned that Jeffrey Epstein has applied to participate in the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office's ("PBSO") work release program, and PBSO has granted that application. Mr. Epstein is reportedly working for The Florida Science Foundation at 250 South Australian Avenue, Suite 1404, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. After work each day, Mr. Epstein returns to the Palm Beach County Stockade. While outside the Stockade, Mr. Epstein is electronically monitored via a GPS system and an ankle bracelet. Pursuant to the work release rules, Mr. Epstein is to go directly from the Stockade to his office, remain at the office throughout the work day, and then return directly to the Stockade. We regret that we were unable to inform you of these developments prior to Mr. Epstein's release, but our Office was never notified of Mr. Epstein's application, and we only learned of his release more than six weeks after he began participating in the program. Should shun questions regarding the work release ro ram, please direct your inquiries to Captain Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, It is my understanding that you have not retained counsel to represent you with regard to any litigation against Mr. Epstein. It is important that you inform me if you do hire an attorney so that I may communicate with you through that attorney, or if you change your address or telephone number. As I mentioned in my earlier correspondence, Robert Josefsberg and his firm were selected by an independent Special Master to represent the identified victims of Mr. Epstein with certain limitations, which Mr. Josefsberg can explain. Again, you have no obligation to select Mr. Josefsberg as your counsel, but if you would like to have Mr. Josefsber re resent you, you must contact him or his artner Katherine Ezell, directly at or via e-mail at and . (If you contact them via e-mail please reference Mr. Epstein in your EFTA00220879 MS. NOTIFICATION OF WORK RELEASE DECEMBER 8, 2008 PAGE 2 OF 2 e-mail.) Please note that, even if you decide not to pursue a claim against Mr. Epstein, Ms. Ezell has put together a team of counselors who can assist you with any counseling or other services that you might need. You also can continue to contact the FBI's Victim Services Coordinator, Twiler Smith, at My best wishes for a peaceful holiday season. R.
