A love letter written by Michael Jordan as a teenager is circulating the web, and has the original recipient demanding answers.

Laquette Robinson of Goldsboro, North Carolina received the letter from Jordan in 1980, and is now trying to figure out how someone obtained the intimate note and their prom picture.

“More than anything, I wouldn’t want Michael to think that I did it, cause I wouldn’t want him to think that I would betray him in this way,” Robinson said.

In the note, Jordan writes to apologize to his then-girlfriend for making her “look pretty rotten.”

“That was between him and me. 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,” said Robinson.

Robinson suspects that a family member stole the note and sold it to a sports auction house called Lelands.com.

Read the letter transcribed below:
