To: Tom Pritzke From: Jeffrey Epstein Sent Fri 8/12/2011 6:59:07 PM Subject: Fwd: 9, ----- Forwarded message From: Rich Cortese Date: Fri, Aug 12, 201 at Subject: Re: To: Jeffrey Epstein [email protected]> Jeff, first I would be happy to go over and get all the things that you want done, it's not a big deal and I think I can do it in a very efficient manner. You have some good people over there that need some direction. But I need to ask some questions first; • What is the scope of the work you want completed now. They are talking about roads, walls, permanent engineering facilities, etc. • I need access to all staffing guides that have been prepared. • Are there any budgetary guidelines in place. • Who is going to stay on the Island when the project is completed ( will it be Brice and his wife). • Do we have contracts for your HVAC and mechanical plants? You may not know all these answers, but as long as everyone knows that is what I need to know when I go down there I will be fine. I was introduced to you by an friend and representative of Tom Pritzger, of which both I have the highest esteem for, but you must understand I am presently gainfully employed and at the present had no intention of leaving my present position, unless something drastically changed the direction that I am going in. With that being said I will make arrangements with Cecile to go to the Island next Friday and Saturday and sort through everything. I will probably bring two professionals (landscaping and engineering with me) to look at the project while I work with your team to get you the answers you are looking for. The professionals will be free because everyone in Puerto Rico is looking for work and all I am looking to get from them is an appraisal of what needs to be done to get this job done and run efficiently going forward. For me to make it simple I would charge $225 an hour (that's what I pay my accountant) plus a plan ticket from San Juan to Sai
