Good Morning Zia,
Hope you had a great weekend.
Just wanted to follow up on an email that was sent over by Fran Wickman (pls. see below).
As you may know, we ere in the process of onboarding a new client, Jeffrey Epstein, who has already
transferred in $120mm+ liquid across his accounts.
A few items that we're requesting exceptions for:
1) Using DB POA for entity accounts (per Fran, POA is meant for natural persons accts.) - Client would
like his assistants to have FULL POA over accts. Cannot use LTA in this situation.

3) The signatures were notarized by one the Agents being appointed power of attorney - Client's assistant

any questions.
We're meeting with the client tomorrow morning, so we would appreciate II you could please review at
some point today.
