Re: Jeffrey Epstein¶

Dear Ms. Villafaña:¶

Thank you for meeting with us last week regarding our client, Jeffrey Epstein. I write to clarify statements we made concerning the significance of the debit/credit card statement we produced. As it stands, I am afraid my failure to inform you that Mr. Epstein’s birthday is January 20th, may have left some confusion as to how the statement relates to the allegations. For ease of reference an additional copy of the statement is annexed hereto.¶

The debit/credit card statement is from Nadia Marcinkova’s Chase account. It reflects a $122.21 purchase at Guys and Dolls, an adult video store located in West Palm Beach. According to the statement, the purchase was made on January 20, 2005 – Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday – at a time when , whose date of birth is December 30, 1986, was clearly 18 years of age.¶

connection with Epstein’s birthday (January 20, 2005, the date reflected on the statement): “Um, it was a [birthday] gift, I guess you could call it a [birthday] gift from me and Nadia”.¶

In light of the foregoing, there should be no doubt that the credit card statement provided relates directly to allegations and that this encounter occurred at a time when was 18 years old.¶

Very truly yours,¶
