RE: Jackson Estate Lawsuit and allegations against Heal The World Foundation

In response to the lawsuit that has been filed against the Heal the World Foundation. (HTWF)

This suit has not been brought against the charity, to 'protect' Mr. Jackson, his estate, his legacy and certainly not his humanitarian aims as has been claimed.
You don't 'protect' yourself from a friend and we are no adversary.

This is a terrible position we find ourselves in, but we cannot allow the estate
attorneys to destroy the charity, nor will we just hand over the responsibility of actualizing our work, to people we cannot be certain have the character to develop and preserve it.

HTWF stands by its claims and its actions, all have been to preserve and protect Mr. Jackson's humanitarian legacy and we emphatically deny these nefarious and misleading accusations.

With deep disappointment,

Melissa Johnson
President
Heal The World Foundation
