Email Chain: R. Couri Hay PR Strategy for Newsweek Feature (File 019406)
Email correspondence between R. Couri Hay and Jeffrey Epstein discussing Couri Hay's proposed PR strategy to influence a Newsweek feature story being written by Alexandra Wolfe, including contact with prominent figures.
Summary
R. Couri Hay communicates with Jeffrey Epstein about a Newsweek assignment for a 1200-1500 word feature story being written by Alexandra Wolfe with a deadline of March 8, 2011. Couri Hay proposes to serve as a PR consultant to positively influence the story's coverage of Epstein's 'reemergence' in New York following previous controversies. Couri Hay indicates that Alexandra Wolfe has already contacted Donald Trump, Leon Black, and Leslie Wexner, and requests formalization of the arrangement to provide additional names and contact information for pro-Epstein advocates. The story is intended to highlight Epstein's business, scientific, and philanthropic work, including a party hosted for Prince Andrew.

Lloyd Grove is not writing the story, he made a few calls but hewas taken off the project. This is for Newsweek, the magazine that is on the stands, not the website. It's still 1200 to 1500 words.Alexandra Wolfe needs to turn in a draft of the story by Monday. I've been subtly guiding Alexandra on your behalf, but would really liketo formalize this job with your attorneys and then I would really need to give names and numbers of pro Jeffery power brokers forAlexandra to call. She has already called Donald Trump, Leon Black, and Les Wexner among others. I've given her Jonathans number,please let me focus on this before its too late to spin this in your direction.

However, I can assure you that the story will be fair and balanced and that your side will be representedintelligently. The story will be about your reemergence in New York post your previous problems. The party you gave forPrince Andrew will be a big part of it.
