I received your e-mail about the assault on the airplane charge. That is the only 6-month offense that we could find. I have already tried to float a plea to two counts of a 12-month offense with a nonbinding recommendation of 20 months, and that has failed. Jay's response is to suggest a plea to one count of a 12-month offense, which I rejected. Our only other option is an ABA plea to a 371 conspiracy charge. I like that best but the U.S. Attorney likes that least. Can you give me some direction? Thanks. Ann Marie Villafana Maillafana(aamaii.COM Begin forwarded message: MCC This is an Automatic Response.

West Palm Beach, FL 33401-5015 • Re: Jeffrey Epstein Dear Jay, Roy, and Jack: On today's date, our Office received an inquiry from State Attorney Barry Krischer related to the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with the terms of that Agreement, I am notifying you of this development. State Attorney Krischer has been contacted by counsel for the Palm Beach Daily News asking why the Non-Prosecution Agreement is under seal in order to determine whether to file suit asking that it be unsealed. I have informed State Attorney Krischer that the Agreement contains a confidentiality clause requiring us to provide Mr. Epstein's counsel with notice prior to making any disclosure (compulsory or otherwise). Since Mr. Epstein is a party to that criminal case, he has standing to contest any EFTA00194223
JAY P. LEFKOWITZ, ESQ. ROY BLACK, ESQ. JACK GOLDBERGER, ESQ. SEPTEMBER 17, 2008 PAGE 2 OF 2 unsealing, while we do not. Accordingly, I ask that you confer with Mr. Krischer regarding how you would like to proceed with the matter. I also want to reiterate the concern I raised in my letter of August 15, 2008, that the complete Non-Prosecution Agreement, which includes the October Addendum, has not been filed with the Court in accordance with the Judge's order. Please advise that this issue has been resolved. Thank you for your attention to these matters. Sincerely, R. Alexander Acosta United States Attorney By: A.
