A well reasoned move by the Jackson family… now they have a pre-eminent legal team McMillan, Salzano, Asbill and Hunter. This is news indeed for the official Michael Jackson website.

Hi, Attorney McMillan

I am emailing you because of my concern as it relate to MJ and his family (I am a prodigy from the beginning of their ABC days). I actually have a question that came back to my mind when MJ was being placed into the ambulance?

1. The mental image of his skin color came back to my mind abot (2) days after he was prononced expired?

2. I am not a doctor but I know and have always believed that he definitely had a skn disorder that would eventually overtake his appearance because back in the 70’s one of my 7th grade classmates brother had the same skin disorder but my question is how did Micahel begin to darken so fast?

3. How long does it take for regamoris (might have spelled wrong) to begin settling in? I ask this question because I was once a case manager for individuals that is diagnosed with Mental retardation and there was a man who passed away that was on my case load. He was a causian and I learned that (purportedly) for caucasian people if their funeral is not arranged within three (3) days that by the third day they will have turned a very dark complextion?

4. Is it possible for his skin to have been the darken complex that the public viewed, while the doctor was administering CPR and continued to darken in the amount of time that it took the EMT team to place him into the ambulance?

I would like to add that you and whomever else that is on your team have demonstrated a high level of professionalism in advocating for the Jackson family because of your not allowing the media to destroy even this moment in the Jackson’s life (precious moments). This must be an opportunity in your life that only comes around (once) I think that Michael is showing you that he appreciate your being here in the earth also. I commend you.

My own personal confessions: I was taken to a Jackson 5 concert, by my oldest brother, when I was around 7 years. We watched the Jackson’s cartoon every Saturday, as a family. We also watched American Bandstand and I remember Dick Clark inviting girls to write in to the Jackson’s and stating that some the letters would be read on the air, in the presence of the Jackson 5. I remember listening to each letter with my (4) brothers and (2) sisters at the time. Yes, I begin to here words coming from the letter that I had written. It was quite an experience.

On June 25, 2009, I was in one of my advanced graduate classes, the instructor was teaching, suddenly one of my colleagues said; “excuse me but my wife just texted me and she said that Michael Jackon has died.” I just looked over at him. However, another one of my colleagues had her lap-top functioning (this is her normal function) and told us what CNN was reporting. I said ooh-no. Our instructor, paused and said: “wait a minute, this is big”,. He did not know what to do with us, as far as class resuming.

I can’t begin to say how many years I have been moved by Michael and his entire family, not only me but my entire family. I watched (silently) over the years the Jackson’s various transitions. Still, Michael set the record straight for the entire family because he is the one the God used to seal their family. I know this because I am the light of my family.
Although it has taken me going through lifes journey to get to the place that I am at now, I yet made it. His mission in life was to make sure that everyone and everything that God has made understand the meaning of the Jackson family and how God love looks from within each individual. I’ll sign off now saying what my mother sometimes remind me of:
“Keep the Good Work Up.” I always respond to her, “I will.”

Thanks for your expertise and intelligence in answering Don Lemon who like the other media hounds hace no respect for Michael Jackson. There were some quesitons that were so in appropriate but you handled it well. Please make sure the family have mourning space w/o these hungry hounds who bring no humanity to the culture of JOurnalism anymore. Walter Cronkite would have had more respect as would Bernard Shaw, but the don Lemons, and others just want to see how much dirt they can gather.

Mr. McMillan,
I am in the process of completing a personal memorial for Michael to be given to his Mother by you. It is made of Cedar and Ebony and is to be placed with important documents to prevent their destruction or it can be used on a daily basis. I need a mailing address to insure the delivery will be directly to you insuring that Mrs Jackson receives it. There is no cost associated with this.

Thank You
J. Lucas
