August 29, 2011 Jack Scarola, Esq. Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley Re: Edwards adv. Epstein Dear Mr. Scarola: I have never personally observed Jeffrey Epstein in the presence of underage females. I do not believe you have any reasonable basis for believing that I have. If you claim to have "reason to believe," please provide me with any such reason. I am certain I can demonstrate to you that it is false. Sincerely, Alan M. Dershowitz EFTA00589292
