I'm curious about when it was written....
http://www.contactmusic.com/news/li...l-jackson-letter-removed-from-auction_1335195
Lisa Marie Presley has intervened to stop a letter written to her by ex-husband Michael Jackson going under the hammer at auction.
The note, handwritten by the late superstar, was reportedly penned between 1993 and 1996 and details Jackson's battle with insomnia which ultimately led to his death from a drug overdose in 2009.
The message reads, "Lisa I truly need this rest I haven't slept litterally (sic) in 4 days now. I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first. I'm crazy for you."
The letter was due to be sold off by Julien's Auction in Beverly Hills, California, but the auctioneers have now removed the item after being contacted by Presley.
Auction house owner Darren Julien tells Tmz,com, "I'm assuming it's (of) a personal nature, and we wanted to honour the request and continue our good relationship with Ms. Presley."
Next month (Jun12), the auction house will sell off the original tomb of Presley's superstar father Elvis.The singer's crypt, where he was buried before his remains were moved to his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee, will go under the hammer as part of the Music Icons auction, which begins on 23 June (12).
Good it's been taken away from the auction. BTW I love MJ's handwriting and his little spelling mistakes. :rollin: I remember he spelled the word 'ridiculous' once in a very funny way... can't remember how though, anymore. Does anyone know? It was something like 'ridiculese' or something like that.
next time please dont call out moderation in a thread. The Rules state to PM a mod instead. Thanks
A letter Michael Jackson wrote to Lisa Marie Presley -- complaining about the problem that ultimately killed the singer -- has been yanked from the auction block after Lisa Marie pitched a fit.
Lisa Marie has not said why she wanted the letter pulled, but it's pretty clear -- Michael struggled with sleep deprivation for years until he found a quick fix in the form of Propofol.
The letter -- written sometime between 1993 and 1996, reads as follows: "Smell here [arrow with box] Lisa I truly need this rest I haven't slept litterally [sic] in 4 days now. I need to be away from phones and Business people. I must take care of my health first Im' [sic] crazy for you Love Turd."
As TMZ first reported, Jackson was doctor shopping for Propofol before he hooked up with Conrad Murray.
So Julien's Auction in Beverly Hills -- the same company selling off Elvis' crypt -- has capitulated to Elvis' daughter. Owner Darren Julien tells TMZ, "I'm assuming it's a personal nature, and we wanted to honor the request and continue our good relationship with Ms. Presley."
We can read between the lines.

The only thing that concerns me about any of this is the fact that Michael had not slept in 4 days. I wish he never had his sleeping problem. I can't imagine what that was like for him.
FROM DARREN JULIEN'S OWN EMAIL TODAY. LISA DID NOT LEAK THAT LETTER.
So stop blaming her for it.
It's too bad that our chance to see this letter has turned into something so ugly by some.

She would never have directly leaked the letter- she's not that dumb.
In my opinion, it was stolen from either Lisa or Michael... that's how it ended up at Julien's. THEY are "honoring her request" to return it to her, due to it's personal nature.
Lisa said herself it was stolen from her and later deleted that tweet. She also responded to the fans who tried to stop this auction she had many more notes like this in her possession.I agree. I am wondering if Michael had a copy of the letter and it was taken from among his personal belongings after he died. And maybe Lisa wants it because she lost her copy. I don't like the things she said about Michael in the past. But I can't help feeling sorry for her regarding the letter from Michael although I feel even more sorry for Michael. Lisa deserves to have that letter if she wants it because Michael wrote it for her.

That's being said , about the note , I don't think she leaked it but the fact the she waited the auction story to be mentiond in Media so she asked the Julien's staff to remove it , I think it's weird !! ..
