From: To: "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]> Subject: Biosocial Research Foundation Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:46:49 +0000 Importance: Normal Attachments: 000BRF:IRS.pdf dear jeffrey was calling to make sure you were o.k. with considering the following proposal but as we are both very busy, why don't i just make the proposal? at an earlier meeting you suggested the possibility of supporting my work and said you preferred supporting people to projects; that was music to my ears since no one has lost in intellectual value/dollar spent while investing in me but the same can not be said for all my projects here are the simple facts. i am ineligible for whatever reasons to receive federal support of any sort and have been for over 30 years; even large foundations like the templeton which solicited a proposal, turn me down, yet if others write me into their grants as window dressing, they often get their grants and i get a little something on the side as a result i set up the Biosocial Research Foundation in 1992 (tax id # and date of incorporation per the attached) to support my work by getting interested individuals to donate (chiefly gordon getty when i was in california); in more recent years, it is my own money that goes into the foundation, at least escaping taxes. when i got $250,000 for my foundation from my crafoord prize, this was a real sum of money and supported my research for three years. it is now exhausted i would be most grateful if you would consider a donation to my foundation of any amount, 25 would get me through my current shortfall, although 50 or 100 thousand would guarantee solvency for a year or two, and would in any case take me through until my self-deception book was earning enough to contribute to the foundation i don't want this request to be a burden to you in any way and value our friendship more than financial support; nevertheless, i would be most grateful for any support you could give with every good wish robert trivers address of foundation: Dr Robert Trivers EFTA00761771
