Summary
This document appears to be a draft memo or email from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black (implied by context of family names and business deals). It outlines a series of estate planning and financial directives, including restructuring trusts, wills, and business assets like Phaidon and Artspace. The second half of the document is a grievance regarding unpaid consulting fees, where Epstein claims he was promised $50-60 million for his services but was ultimately offered only $20 million, expressing that this breach of agreement has left him 'uneasy' despite their close friendship.
