From: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation®gmail.com> To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:04:18 +0000 Bill, I am in tears as i write this, and have barely slept for three days. I am devastated beyond words. I find myself losing my best friend , and my career ,all in one day and by no fault of my own. As your friend , I suggest you carefully reconsider your alternatives. If Melinda decides to file for divorce I will of course stand by you and help any way I can. I want to see you happy, truly. Difficult choices , no matter what. As you know I am going in for surgery on my eyes on Tuesday.. This timing could not be worse. I will be out of it for a few days. I hope you are able to convince Melinda to allow me to continue doing my job, a job you described as i could not have done better. I hoped to ask her face to face to change her mind. I have done nothing wrong. However, I recognize the fact that it might not be possible at this time . I also realize I will need a lawyer to review any agreement we might enter into, but I don't trust any , with so much sensitive info. I have asked Jeffrey to oversee and negotiate for me , and have given him power of attorney to act on my behalf . He also needed to be my health proxy during my operation. I have informed him of all the details surrounding our dilemma. I trust him 100%. My communication with him is privileged , no worry . He has agreed to act as my financial and legal representative. You can trust him. . He has dealt with very similar problems in the past. He hasn't given me the details. I would greatly appreciate you and he talking directly. He does not know Larry , and cannot be open with him. He doesn't like or trust pr people. This is a terrible circumstance in which we find ourselves ,but I am confident of our friendship and I know you know how devoted I am to you .
