Andrew L. Farkas Chairman & Grand Sphinx TY TUDDI IWITUTE OF 1770 Jeffrey Epstein 9 East 7P' Street New York, NY 10022 Dear Jeffrey, As you know, I am the Chairman and "Grand Sphinx" of the Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770, which comprises the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the Hasty Pudding Club, and the Harvard Krokodiloes.

It is a full-fledged artistic, educational, and philanthropic organization, where lifelong relationships are formed, talents nurtured, and passions discovered.

Not only does the Pudding provide financing for these programs, but the undergraduate membership gives their time and talents as well, helping to cultivate a life-long culture of philanthropy within its membership. In order to support these programs, we need to look to donors, like you,
