CELESTINO A. WHITE SR. Consulting and Management Firm M. Box 6186 St. Thomas, VI 008O4 Office: (340) 715.4498 "Experience Mutters" Cell: (340) 690-4498 "Experience Matters" Email: [email protected] June 10, 2013 Mr. Jeffrey Epstein Little St. James Island 6100 Red Hook Qtr. Ste. B-3 St. Thomas, VI 00802 Dear Mr. Epstein: Thank you for your response to my proposal dated June 4, 2013, pertaining to Little St. James Island. Pursuant to an email, you've requested two adjustments to the proposal, namely the deletion of any reference to international and the adjustment to the suggested fee which my firm proposed. Please allow me to share my position regarding these requests. First, the reason for my reference to international was based on the fact I have learned that a petition similar to the one you're proposing may have been made in the British Territory a couple of years ago. not certain of the status of their request and would like to research this information, as well as other private islands throughout the World where appeals similar to yours may have been honored. I will use this information as supporting documentation when engaging the community and government officials. Additionally, once the United States Board on Geographic Names and/or the U. S. Geological Survey conducts their review, our Firm will need to determine if additional appeals would have to be made to change the name on World Maps and the World Atlas. Secondly, the compensation for this project took into consideration the anticipated countless hours, weeks and indeed months that will be required to aggressively approach and advance this matter. As I noted in my correspondence, it would take close to nine (9) months of constant and consistent attention to deliver the results you are seeking. Funds for this project must be readily available for any incidentals, travel, meetings, phone calls, publications and stipends which may be required to gain assistance from outside entities, amongst other things. Therefore, unfortunately I would not be able to adjust the fees or payment installments downward as quoted by my Firm. I would like to conclude by saying that your concerns have been duly noted and I would hope that if it is determined that we cannot reach an amicable solution that this decision will not diminish our ability to work together in the future or in any way mischaracterize the high regards in which I view you and your business acumen. Notwithstanding my decision, I am open to further discussions pertaining to this matter, as well as any others, where my Firm could be commissioned for service. My hope is that we can come to an amenable agreement and move forward with your petition. EFTA00582926 Mr. Jeffrey Epstein June 10, 2013 Page 2 of 2 We look forward to hearing from you.
