Good Afternoon:

In furtherance of the Lit Hold materials I sent to you, please know that I have to inform the National Preservation Officer at EOUSA in Washington as well as (here in the S.D. Fla) of the Lit Hold and inform them of key names.

To that end, I gathered from the unsealed Court filings the names set forth below. Please let me know if there are any other names that should be identified. Please let me know first name.

I will also need the names of the victims that would be Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 for preservation purposes. This information will be kept confidential. If the USAO-SDFLA Lit Hold efforts are ever the subject of discovery, we can redact the victim names…as was done in the letters filed with AUSA Villafaña’s first declaration.

Also, I will need your assistance in preparing letters to the FBI and Palm Beach P.D. to urge them to place a Hold on any documents that they may have…unless you advise that a hold is already in place.

Finally, please let me know if the Lit Hold Time Frame I suggested is correct, or if it should commence with an earlier date.
