By the way I told Robert's secretary about the 25% yesterday... and he asked to compromise at 30% saying, sincerely, he really couldn't go below that.

You can chat to him today, but here is the response —

Dear Ms. Lewis,

I was able to speak to Robert about Mr. Epstein's request. Alas, while we are quite grateful for the opportunity for Robert to work with him, he feels that 25% would just be impossible. However, he is willing to meet in the middle at 30%, if this solution works for Mr. Epstein. He hopes Mr. Epstein will give this suggestion some serious consideration, and that Mr. Epstein understands that Robert is doing his best to accommodate, but there is a threshold he can't go below.

Please convey Robert's regrets on this matter, and that he continues to be very excited about the idea of a project with Mr. Epstein!

Sincerely,
Sally Ann Calabrese
