Right now your all in is @ $224 JFK to NYC with no wait time charges @ JFK.
The best rate I can provide from JFK to NYC will be $198 all in with 45 minutes wait time comped for
international flights from the scheduled time you provide. $165 + 20% gratuity.
We have visited this JFK ride before in the past. It is the most difficult ride in our industry based on traffic,
tolls, wait time @ JFK and turn around time for our vehicles but willing to give you this deal because of
the other services we provide for you in different airports.
Thank You,

Hi Bella,
I just checked and that ride ranges from $110 to 135 on Uber one way. Obviously, we don't compete with
Uber, their level of service, drivers, and vehicles can't compare to our service or even the limousine
standard. Most of them don't even get out of the car and help with bags. Their drivers are wearing jeans,
shorts, t shirts, which is also not a limousine standard. Furthermore, their vehicle's aren't up to date, all of
our vehicles are 2017 or 2018. We also have 1.5 million commercial auto insurance per vehicle which is
required in the state of New Jersey. Which a lot of these Uber drivers don't carry based on the "Uber base"
loophole in NYC. Lastly, you have to put into consideration the type of passengers you are providing
service for. Mr. Epstein is a high profile client & his guests are associated with them. Our company has
experienced drivers with that level of clientele & the security you get putting your passengers in our
company vehicles is something you won't find in an Uber or with any other new company that you don't
have a relationship with. Another thing I want you to put into consideration with JFK rides, any other
company charges wait time after 30 mins. We do not charge wait time @ JFK for your passengers, which a
lot of them have through go to customs and take a good amount of time. Let me revisit the JFK price and I
will call you to discuss. Are you ok with the TEB to NYC prices and the TEB to EWR for crew?
Thank You,

Hi Gabriel,
Thank you for your prompt response. When we get quote from Uber it comes to around $60. To make it
as a round trip it would be $120. Lets add tips and admin expenses about 30%. Total would $156. Your
thoughts.
Thank you,
Bella

Hello Gabe and Teresa. We would like to continue our service with you but in light of Uber and other
competition, we feel we should negotiate new rates with you. Bella, in accounting is CC'd here and
has been looking over our last bills. They all seem very high. Might we be able to work something
out?

Hi Lesley,
Thank you for your reply & for forwarding to Mr. Epstein. Just for the record, a couple weeks
ago @ TEB, my driver was there @ 1:25pm for a scheduled 1:30pm pick up.
The Aircraft arrived early, that's why Mr. Epstein waited shortly.
Appreciate your time.
Thank You,

Please forward to Mr. Epstein if possible, as I do not have his E-Mail on File.
Mr. Epstein,
I want to start off by apologizing to you for any inconvenience I may have caused today by
my dispatching mistake. I also want to apologize to your team; Larry, Dave, Lesley, Bella,
which I always work closely with to provide them & yourself a great service.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Gabriel Roque & I'm one of the owners of CARosa
Limo. I used to be a driver for my old boss Vinny, which I'm sure you knew, may he rest in
peace. I have personally driven Larry, Dave, airplane seats, your guests, etc, throughout the
years. Larry & Dave built a relationship with Vinny & Keith which was passed down to us &
it's really an honor to work with them. They are good people.
In addition, CARosa Limo strives on building long term relationships. We provide superior
customer service to our customers and run it like a family business, because we know no other
way how. Based on the relationships I have with Larry & Dave and the length of their
employment with you. Plus, the years you have be using our company, I see you have that
same loyalty as us here @ CARosa.
In conclusion, I made a mistake today. I can promise you it won't happen and I hope our
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein & his great staff doesn't come to an end because of this. It
would be a shame in my eyes. It's a lot of years we have been working together to provide
you a great service. I have offered Lesley a complimentary ride on your next trip out of good
faith. Again, I deeply apologize for today. If there's anything I can do please let me know.
Thank You,
Gabriel Roque
