From: To: Subject: Paul Tweed Proposed Vanity Fair Article Dear Mr Klein, We have been consulted by Jeffrey Epstein in the UK in relation to grossly inaccurate and defamatory references to him being a "paedophile" in a number of press and magazine reports. We understand that you may be preparing an article for Vanity Fair which may touch upon our client's relationship with Prince Andrew and therefore we are taking the precautionary step of putting you on notice that our client will take legal action in the event that the aforesaid defamatory reference is repeated in your article. We trust this will not be necessary, as our client has no particular desire to become embroiled in litigation with Vanity Fair, but is simply seeking to ensure fair and accurate reporting, and to provide you with this information prior to any publication. For the record, the false and distorted terminology adopted by a number of publications to describe our client in a vitriolic attack on his character is simply not true on any interpretation of the word "paedophile". He has not been convicted nor accused of being a paedophile (a pejorative that has a very specific medical definition), apart from by certain elements of the tabloid press in their recent reports on his friendship with Prince Andrew. However, our client will expect more accurate and credible reporting from a respected publication such as Vaniety Fair which is supposedly to have specifically higher standards than the sensationalised and exaggerated reporting of the tabloids, which, a number of who have been, or will be, the subject of a legal complaint from our client. Perhaps you would acknowledge receipt of this email in the spirit in which we are writing to you. Yours faithfully, EFTA_R1_00270693 EFTA01867022
