Mr. Jeffrey Epstein
9 East 71" Street
New York, NY 10022
Dear Jeffrey,
I am sure you know of my affections for and commitment to The Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 at Harvard.
Last year, Sandi and I made a gift to Harvard that financed a renovation and expansion of the building that
housed The Pudding (built originally in 1888). That building, now called Farkas Hall, is among the primary
centers for the performing arts at Harvard.
Attached to this letter you will find a press release that announces that The Hasty Pudding will this year
honor my dear friend Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, at a gala dinner at The Mandarin
Oriental in NYC on March 4, 2013. Michael's support of The Hasty Pudding is an extraordinary, appropriate
and tremendously appreciated commitment and it is one that we are asking you to help endorse. It would
mean a great deal to me (and Michael) if you too would support this event and The Hasty Pudding Institute.
To the extent that you are prepared to do so, we would ask that you permit us to list you as a dinner co-chair
on the invitation and in the program and that you make a contribution to purchase a table at the event that
night. I am asking that you consider a contribution to The Hasty Pudding Institute of $25,00O to become a
member of the Fraternal Order of The Friendly Alligator. In connection with this level of support you will
also receive tickets to The Hasty Pudding Show when it comes to The Danny Kaye Theater in New York this
year and you will be inducted as an honorary member of Hasty Pudding Institute. In that capacity you will
also receive a coveted Hasty Pudding Institute membership medal.
The Hasty Pudding Institute and its member organizations rely entirely on outside support to fund their
philanthropic, artistic and educational activities. It does not receive any funding at all from Harvard. When
you provide funding by supporting our event in honor of Michael, all but about $200 per person of your
contribution is tax deductible and goes to support the Hasty Pudding Institute's various activities in education
and to support its activities in the performing arts at Harvard and elsewhere.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and friendship. I look forward to seeing you on March 4 to fete
Michael and support The Hasty Pudding. There is no other collegiate organization just like it in the world.
Very Truly Yours,
EFTA00304883
