INDYKE, PLLC 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor New York, New York 10022 Telephone: Telecopier: 646 350-0378 email: March 6, 2015 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Karin Kunstler Goldman Assistant Attorney General Charities Bureau Office of the Attorney General Of the State of New York 120 Broadway, 3rd Floor New York, NY 10271 RE: Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation Registration with the NY Attorney General's Charities Rorean Dear Assistant Attorney General Goldman: I received your letter dated March 2, 2015 requesting that J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation") file a Form CHAR 410 and Schedule E thereto in order for the Charities Bureau to confirm the Foundation's exemption from registration under the provisions of the Estate Powers & Trust Law and Article 7-A of the Executive Law. As stated in my letter to you dated February 10, 2015, the Foundation has never solicited charitable contributions, nor engaged in any other charitable activities, in the State of New York and, for that reason, we respectfully disagree with the assertion that the Charities Bureau has any authority to require the Foundation to register. Nevertheless, the Foundation wishes to fully cooperate with your inquiry and encloses a completed Form CHAR 410 and attachments thereto, along with Schedule E, for the limited purpose of enabling the Charities Bureau to confirm the Foundation's exempt status. The Foundation does so, however, without prejudice to its right to contest your jurisdiction over the Foundation.
