Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: ViHelena, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 10:43 AM To: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Lee, Dexter (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Subject: Communications from Jeff Herman re Epstein matter Hi all — Today, Jeff and Dexter should receive hard copies of a letter I received from Jeff Herman yesterday. (Karen received her copy yesterday.) I had not intended to do much with it, but today I received a fax from Bob Josefsberg attaching a letter that he had received from Herman. I have scanned and attached both of the letters to this e-mail. In light of the two letters, I would like to get permission to contact the Florida Bar for a written staff opinion on the issue. I could only ask them to address the issue of my contacting the victims, but I recommend that we ask Bob if he wants to submit a written request at the same time regarding whether he can contact the victims. I will note that, for those girls who we knew were represented, all communications were directed to their attorneys, and Bob J. knows that he cannot contact those girls directly. Can you let me know if you have any objection to this? And, Dexter, are you willing to review my written request before it goes out? Thank you. 080916 Ltr from 080915 Ltr from 4erman to Jose...Herman to A. Marie Villafafia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
