To: Jeffrey Epstein From: Richard Merkin Sent Mon 6/6/2011 3:17:00 PM Subject RE: I must have miscommunicated. If I had communicated that to you I would be nuts. I never suggested that one year of profit is what I would pay such a phantom person. That would make me beyond nuts. You're a great friend. look forward to talking to you soon. From: Jeffrey Epstein [mailto: Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 1:31 AM To: Richard Merkin Subject: Our last conversation drove me crazy.. I am not religious , as my highest principle is friendship. It is painful watching you slowly kill yourself. Hearing - you had difficulty standing near the end of your biz trip. a trip designed around getting more, of that ,which you already have too much .. The idea that someone would help you monetize ,sell your business is the right thing, I think for you.. I am of two minds whether I should do it for you. Its time consuming, and west coast based. I prefer to kibbitz from the sideline and help guide the process. but as your structure is " complex". I, m not sure who to trust , letting in the tent. THis is NOT , repeat NOT a proposal. You suggested that one year of profit , should be enough to pay the phantom person. too much. ! My understanding is that the net is between 200 to 300 a year. If FTC ( my personal trust co. would do it , it would be along the lines of the following. My guess it would take approx two years. a 25 million - fee. a 100 million success fee for an event at 2 billion. a percentage between 10-20 above 2 billion. A clause in the agreement that survived your death. I personally would have to understand the structure and numbers. that initally would be structured under your lawyers co-vel letter as to maintain priviledge. It would be me negotiating , ( that „i can't delegate ) I am still in paris and musing about fun deals. We would need a serious discussion.
