From: Gregory Riches Sent: Tuesday, February To: Jeffrey Epstein Cc: Richard Kahn Subject: Fwd: Compensation > Jeffrey, > I spoke to Rich yesterday afternoon about your desire to reduce my =onthly pay. > When we first meet, you asked me how much I charge and I told you $150 > =er hour plus 25% of the net purchases. You spoke of a full time > position over several =ears and we discussed a range of > $200,000- $225,000 as a ballpark but I clarified that that depends on =he amount of work required. > We only spoke of your mansion but that you had other properties that =ould need work over time. > Starting work on your project back on september 15th I was asked to > =ome up with some ideas and then a full proposal for the first floor > of your 71st street =ansion. First you agreed you would give me a > $1000 for a quick one week presentation which i worked on diligently =nd presented on the 25th of september. > You then told me to continue working for another week to begin to fine =une the ideas but that it was a good start. > On September 30th you called to offer $15,000 a month to put together > = complete proposal for the mansion and added that I should go see several apartments on 66th street to =ffer my opinion of the existing furnishings. > I meet withM that day and saw 5 apartments besides hers and was > =iven the preliminary order from Artefacto which was a jumble of > choices. I spent the whole week =orking on the orders and layouts while still working on the mansion presentation. > October 4th I meet with Karyna & Aland was told that the order will =ow be for all 10 of your apartments. > Within another week while putting together ideas for the remaining > =partments, your Palm Beach property was added to the list from > Artefacto as well as complete renovations =f the apartments with > Anthony and Penn along with continuing to work on your presentation, I > then began =onstant communications with Artefacto, Rich, Daphne, Anthony, Karyna andMver the full series of orders to be =laced and a list of the work needed on each apartment. > I presented a full presentation to you on October 23rd and was told > =hat I was contracted for another month to fine tune the ideas from the presentation including pricing, work on =he apartments and the Palm Beach house. > At my suggestion to you about wanting to see Artefacto's furniture in > =erson before I felt confident ordering over $400.000 worth of I > product I had never personally seen, I flew =own to Florida. At this point I am working over 60 hours a week, right through most weekends. > November 2nd you emailed your request for me to fly to Little St James > =o see about additional work which I did within days that included the EFTA_R1_01433306 EFTA02398792 > four cabanas. You wanted ideas as soon =s possible which I produced > over the weekend. You then wanted a more formal presentation which I > began =orking on along with coordinating the construction with Anthony > and meeting all of the trades required =or the mansion project for quotes as well as continued coordination with Artefacto. I voiced my difficulty keeping =p with the volume of projects all moving at the same time and how hard it was to keep up at this rate. > We meet again on December 1 and you stated that you were in fact > =dding too much to my plate only to come back at me two days later for > not doing what you wanted. I had full =ricing for you for the mansion > project which was rejected and then wanting completely new ideas. The following week = was away on a vacation that was booked back in June before I meet you which you did not pay me for but =hat was not expected. > On my return I hit the ground running producing a full schedule for > =11 of the construction at 66th street along with keeping tabs on the > custom chairs ordered for the mansion, on top of =he constant > communication between all involved with the apartments, their renovations and the palm beach =ouse. The chairs were ready by christmas as you requested only to have them wrapped while the gold leafing was =eing done through the holidays. > I quickly gathered numerous images for the cabanas as well as for the =ansion, all of which you rejected. > By the end of the month I was knee deep in the 66th Street apartments > =etting bout of 10B, coordinating with Penn, Anthony and Andrew > to get that apartment finished along =ith dealing with Artefacto and > their upcoming delivery to multiple apartments. That happened on January 6th =nd 7th and was very difficult because Artefacto sent additional things and the delivery crew could not =omplete the delivery that week. > Several things came in damaged and wrong so I set out to document the > =hanges. I began to work on the housewares orders for the apartments > with Julia as well move her out =f 10N along with the additional orders for Palm beach from Artefacto with Karyna. > You wanted a schedule for the housewares which i promptly produced and =hen said was useless, you wanted quotes. > So I got those together along with adding new mattresses for all of > =he apartments. After Julia and went to see them I was able to present that quote along with multiple quotes from =BC for sheets and towels at different price points. > All the while still working non stop for you which included sorting > =ut the next wire payment for Artefacto from the barrage of paperwork they generated and their upcoming delivery to =6th street on the 24th and 25th of February. > Penn and Anthony are finishing up 10N this week which is the third > =partment renovated in 3 months, extremely quick by New York > standards.They are ready to start 11P this =eek. Crate & Barrel is ready to deliver this week and the beds can be delivered on the 25th if Artefacto in =act makes the delivery schedule. > I covered all of this history to illustrate that I have gone above and =eyond the original scope of work. > I have devoted my full attention to you and your many projects through > =hese past months and I feel that I deserve the full monthly payment > especially with what I =ave to coordinate and supervise for the > remainder of this month and through next month. If you want to =egotiate a lower fee for less hours after that we should discuss that. > Sincerely. > Gregory 2 EFTA_R1_01433307 EFTA02398793 > Gregory Riches >INTERIORS <?xml version=.0" encoding=TF-8"?> <IDOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version=.0"> <dict> <key>date-last-viewed</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>date-received</key> <integer>1423580778</integer> <key>flags</key> <integer>8590195717</integer> <key>gmail-label-ids</key> <array> <integer>18</integer> <integer>5</integer> </array> <key>remote-id</key> <string>480315</string> </dict> </plist> 3 EFTA_R1_01433308 EFTA02398794
