A tiny, typo-filled email from 2013 offers a glimpse into how requests tied to celebrity appearances and elite fundraising sometimes landed in Jeffrey Epstein’s inbox.

The exchange, dated May 8, 2013, shows an unidentified person reaching out to Epstein after a planned aircraft arrangement “fell through,” asking whether he might make one of his planes available to fly actress and television host Whoopi Goldberg to Europe for a charity engagement. The message said Goldberg needed to get from New York City to Nice, France, ahead of a May 10 event in Monaco.

According to the email, the trip was connected to what was billed as the first gala for the White Feather Foundation, the philanthropic group founded by Julian Lennon, the son of the late Beatle John Lennon. The note described the purpose as fundraising for water-related and humanitarian conservation work, framed to coincide with the United Nations’ designation of 2013 as the International Year of Water Cooperation.

The sender wrote that Monaco’s Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene were expected to attend, signaling the type of high-profile guest list organizers anticipated for the ball.

In laying out logistics, the email said the charity did not want to rely on a standard commercial charter and was seeking a private aircraft instead. The proposed schedule included a May 9 flight from New York to Nice and a return on May 12. The writer also floated options: the aircraft owner could attend the Monaco function and have fuel costs covered, or provide pricing details if the flight would be paid for.

Epstein replied with two words — “no thnaks.”

Nothing in the brief correspondence indicates that Epstein later facilitated travel for Goldberg or that she ultimately used any plane connected to him.

The White Feather Foundation has been associated with environmental and humanitarian campaigns, and the Monaco fundraiser described in the email was presented as a significant early push to bring in donations for its initiatives.
