Emails appear to show Sarah Ferguson asking late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for a job as a house assistant.
In an email exchange recently released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) from the criminal investigations into Epstein, the former Duchess of York, 66, said she “desperately” needed money and suggested that Epstein hire her to work as his house assistant.
“But why I don’t understand, don’t you just get me to be your House Assistant. I am the most capable and desperately need the money,” Ferguson wrote in the May 16, 2010, email, adding, “Please Jeffrey think about it.”

The email exchange took place after Epstein had served 13 months in a Florida jail for soliciting and procuring an underage girl for prostitution.
Ferguson previously heaped praise on Epstein in a message dated Jan. 30, 2010.
“You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness,” she wrote. “Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.”
In another email, dated Aug. 3, 2009, Ferguson thanked Epstein, seemingly for helping her with brand deals.
“In just one week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted. I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me infront of my girls. Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for,” she concluded.
While Ferguson’s name is redacted from the email released by the DOJ, the context makes clear it is from Ferguson.
A representative for Ferguson declined PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Ferguson was previously married to ex-Prince Andrew, whose royal titles and honors were stripped amid renewed interest in the pair’s ties to Epstein, who died in an apparent suicide while awaiting trial one month after he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors in July 2019.

Newly unveiled documents showed that both Andrew and Ferguson contacted the disgraced financier multiple times following his 2008 prostitution conviction despite claiming to have cut off contact.
In September 2025, it was revealed that Ferguson sent an email to Epstein apologizing for publicly disowning him in a March 2011 interview with the Evening Standard.
Ferguson told the publication that she had made a “terrible, terrible error of judgment” when she accepted nearly $20,000 from Epstein to pay off debts. Referencing the accusations against her infamous friend, she added, “I abhor pedophilia.”
However, the month after she disowned him, Ferguson reportedly backtracked in an email to Epstein, calling him a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”
“As you know, I did not, absolutely not, say the P [pedophile] word about you,” she reportedly wrote. “I know you feel hellaciously let down by me. And I must humbly apologise to you and your heart for that. You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family.”
Ferguson has kept a low profile since King Charles announced he was stripping his brother Andrew of his royal titles and honors.
