5 November 2004 - Michael Jackson personally thanked his fans.

To my loyal fans and supporters I would like to sincerely thank all those who have spoken openly in response to the recent allegations against me  and who have taken action against the efforts that were arranged to defame me as a person and  as an  entertainer. My team has given me news of the thousands of phone calls and thousands of emails  that you have sent to me. I am very grateful to you and deeply moved. 

For the fans in the UK,  I want you to know how deeply I was moved to hear about the demonstrations scheduled for 31 October  in London and the presence of thousands of people there,  This love  and   the beautiful   words  from my fans  have deeply moved me. Thank you. I have recently been told that  a programme has been arranged for me by fans, which is going to take place soon in New York. I would like to take this opportunity and, from the bottom of my heart, thank these fans for their love and support. As always, I love you all very much. Thank you for not being afraid to speak.

God bless you

Michael Jackson
