A little cheeky, no? We get things like that when it looks like we’ll have a monitor. I’ll check with the team if they anticipate us ever having anything to do with Epstein’s property but I think the response (which could come from me) will be something like, “Thank you for your letter, which has been forwarded to our Office for response. We will file it in the event we have any occasion to follow up on your offer of services.”

What is the right way to handle this? It seems to be an offer by Guernsey’s Auctioneers & Brokers to be retained to handle the disposition of Epstein’s property. I was assigned to respond to this. Please advise.
Thanks
