This document appears to be a partial email or draft from Jeffrey Epstein (identified by the 'JEE' footer and 'jeevacation@gmail.com') outlining a strategy for a legal letter to publisher Little, Brown. The text argues that a book ostensibly by James Patterson is actually written by John Connolly, who has an 'obsession' with Epstein. The author warns that the 'Trump-Clinton angle' of the election will drastically increase media scrutiny on the publication.

This undated document outlines a public relations and legal strategy, likely for Jeffrey Epstein's team, to challenge an upcoming book about him. The plan is to warn the publisher, Little, Brown, of a 'negative media controversy' by revealing that the book's stated author, James Patterson, had minimal involvement and that the true author is John Connolly, a journalist with an alleged 'obsession' with Epstein. The communication is marked as confidential and the property of 'JEE', presumably Jeffrey E. Epstein.
