Here is my proposal after speaking with Jeff.¶
Dear Jay and Roy:¶
Thank you for your response to my earlier e-mail. Our communications with Mr. Black and later with Mr. Lefkowitz were solely to determine what Mr. Epstein considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. We appreciate your answering our question with finality. You have now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December modification, and accordingly, the offer to make that modification is hereby withdrawn.¶
Pursuant to our Agreement, I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the names of additional identified victims. As you know, Judge had selected the Podhurst firm to serve as the attorney representative for the victims. Assuming that Mr. Josefsberg is still amenable to the appointment, we will provide him with the victim list so that he may begin his service.¶
Finally, as you are aware, the United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with that Order, we will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by your client. We understand that Mr. Goldberger did not provide the state court with a true copy of the complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that error.¶

Shouldn’t we formally withdraw the offer as opposed to considering it a nullity?¶

Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS)¶
Something which is a nullity lacks any legal import. If it has been withdrawn, then the item had import at one time, but it no longer does. If the December 2007 letter is viewed as an offer, there was no acceptance, or it has been rejected. Consequently, the offer no longer has an legal import.¶
We are obligated to provide a copy of the non-prosecution agreement to petitioners, whatever that agreement is. If the December 2007 letter never became a part of the agreement, and the government and Epstein are in agreement as to that issue, then we can produce the September 2007 agreement and the addendum. Are we at that point?¶

Dexter — If we call it “a nullity” instead of “withdrawn” how does that affect the issue with the Jane Does?¶

Marie,¶
Please substitute the word “withdrawn” in the first sentence with “a nullity”¶
