Last week With Leather reported on the torrid, handwritten 18-year old romance between Michael Jordan and his “Dearest Laquette”, a girl who he’d made feel “pretty rotten” and hoped to win back with a unique brand of compliments and parenthetical explanation ←–(joke)

Well, it turns out Laquette is a real person, and she’s not sure how her love letters from the greatest basketball player of all time got into the hands of an auction house, and then the Internet.

“That was between him and me,” she said. “Not anyone else. It wasn’t for anyone else to have knowledge of it. That’s something he wrote to me, at that time, out of his heart.” So, you can imagine her surprise when she saw the two-page document on television Friday.

She suspects a family member took the letter and sold it to the auction house.

“It was mine, it was personal, it was private,” Robinson added. “And for them to take something that belonged to me and to capitalize off of it, without my knowledge, without my permission, it really upsets me.”

Here’s a full recap from ABC News.

The piece on Laquette says she’s “vowing legal action” for the 5-grand transaction that made her sports news. Well she have spent her time very wisely by talk to ABC. I hope she talk again soon. Well I must go, the period is almost over. See you next time around, which I hope comes soon.

Letters of Note has somehow managed to top their expletive-filled 19th century baseball memo with something even funnier — a love letter written to a girl named “Laquette” by an 18-year old Michael Jordan. Lines like “I know that you feelings was hurt” and “I want you to know that my feeling for you has not change yet. ← (joke)” confirm that His Airness is indeed the greatest scorer in the history of basketball.

The scans of the letter are below, courtesy of Lelands. Click them to see the bigger versions. In the event that you don’t have HD resolution or an oversized magnifying glass, the transcript immediately follows. I refuse to believe someone who spelled “apology” as “apologie” made it to Advanced Chemistry.

Michael Jordan

My Dearest Laquette

How are you and your family doing, fine I hope. I am in my Adv. Chemistry class writing you a letter, so that tell you how much I care for you. I decide to write you because I felt that I made you look pretty rotten after the last night. I want to tell you that I am sorry, and hope that you except my apologie. I know that you feelings was hurt whenever I loss my necklace or had it stolen.

I was really happy when you gave me my honest coin money that I won off the bet. I want to thank you for letting me hold your annual. I show it to everyone at school. Everyone think you are a very pretty young lady and I had to agree because it is very true. Please don’t let this go to your head. (smile) I sorry to say that I can’t go to the game on my birthday because my father is taking the whole basketball team out to eat on my birthday. Please don’t be mad because I am trying get down there a week from Feb. 14. If I do get the chance to come please have some activity for us to do together.

I want you to know that my feeling for you has not change yet. ← (joke) I am finally getting use to going with a girl much smaller than I. I hope you my hint. Well I have spent my time very wisely by write to you. I hope you write back soon. Well I must go, the period is almost over. See you next time around, which I hope comes soon.

Michael J. Jordan

Not just his love, but his BEST love. This is so good. This is even better than that passed note where LeBron James asked Starkeisha if he could take her talents to Homecoming.
