The letter was set to hit the auction block later this year. But according to TMZ, Julien’s Auction in Beverly Hills has returned the note to Lisa Marie.

Julien’s Auction owner Darren Julien tells the gossip site, “I’m assuming it’s a personal nature, and we wanted to honor the request and continue our good relationship with Ms. Presley.”
