To: Jeffrey EpsteinUeevacationagmail.comj From: Jeffrey Epstein Sent Thur 7/18/2013 12:39:19 PM Subject bill I have decided to resign my position effective immediately with BG3 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I have not come to this decision quickly or without a great deal of thought. During the past few weeks I have been caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill. I have the greatest respect for my friend of 7 years, and wish them both well. In my role as his right hand I had been asked on mulitple occassion and in hindsight , wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate , to the ethically unsound and had been repeatedly asked to do other things that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal. Though it was kindly suggested that I make a transistion to a new position after my six years of service and that Bill would in his words give me a geneorus package, . I feel it would be dishonest to myself and my future. From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls , to facilictating his illicit trysts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall fro bridge tounianints. . I feel I owe it to my friends and futre colleagues to admit a moral failure , to ask forgiveness and to move on with my life. EFTA_R1_00445830 EFTA01966988
