This is an FBI Laboratory Examination Request (Form ED-1121) dated January 2020, initiating a handwriting analysis of a letter addressed to Jeffrey Epstein that was returned to the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in 2019.
The document details a request from the FBI's New York field office to compare the handwriting on a returned letter against samples from Epstein's cell. The letter in question was originally addressed to imprisoned gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar at a federal prison in Tucson, Arizona, but was marked 'return to sender' because Nassar was no longer at that facility. The request was submitted shortly after Epstein's death in August 2019, as part of the official death investigation (Case ID 90A-NY-3151227) to determine if Epstein himself wrote the letter or if it was from an unknown person.
