Dearest Alexander!
I am channeling all of the worlds love and sending it to you! A little corny maybe, but if I could do this for you, I WOULD!!!!!! I am trying to think of a joke to tell you so that my little letter of best wishes and love will be a little different from the usual outpouring of love and well wishes. You are definately getting a lot of that (And well deserved I might add)!!!!! But alas, I am a terrible joke teller...I can never remember the punchlines! Oh well, I hope this puts even a "baby" smile on to your gorgeous face! (Even though there is no joke enclosed!) But Seriously, I just want to send this note along with the other Million Best Wishes that have been sent to you........I wish you every happiness the world has to offer and all the love that my heart can hold. Please get better soon. I have every confidence that you will! You are a an extremely strong person to be able to go through a life such as you are experiencing! My heart goes out to you and your family. All the best forever and ever and ever and ever and....I think you get the point!
TAKE CARE OF YOU!
Love you,
Sheli

I doubt that this letter will ever reach the eyes of whom it belongs, but I will write this in hopes that it does. I have never lost a grandparent or any family member, but I did lose my best friend. He ment the world to me. I try not to cry as I write this, but it is so hard. He has been gone since December, only a few months but it seems so long. I know what you are going through. I was depressed for a long time. Sometimes all I do is think about what happend, How he died he was so young, too young. Just remember your years of loving her, remember her like she was. Not that she is gone. You will see her again. Now that she has moved on, so must you. When I say move on I don't mean forget and move on you need to remember. I say this not only to you but to my self. It's hard I know it is but you will make it. You always do. Right now you need to think about your self. Don't worry about your fans, We will still be here when you are ready to come back. But before you come back make sure YOU are ready. I do hope you get to read this and I hope that you understand, that no matter what happens life goes on even if you don't want it to. I have taken up enough of your time now so, I will let you get on to getting better. I love you, and I hope that this letter has helped you in some way.Love always,
Amber

hi!!!
i´´m really worry because of ajs problems with the alcohol, but first i want to tell him that he made the right decision. all the nights i pray to god to give him the strenght to deal with his problem, i know that is very difficult that aj read this message but if he do, i only want to say him that he is the kind of man that know how to deal with all his problems and also that i am with him as all the mexican fans, because here in mexico you and the other backstreet boys are love so much.
please take care and remember this:"all the bad moments that god give you, he doesnt do them to hurt you, he only put you a test to see how strong you are." p.s. your grandmother is with god right now, and im sure that she is taking care of you. i love you

AJ,
We love you! Myself and my eight year old daughter, Cassie, want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. At night when my daughter goes to sleep, she says a little prayer for you and your recovery and for the rest of the guys. We know you will be back and be stronger and better than ever. These types of things aren't always a negative. This might be Gods way of helping some teen out there that was too afraid to admit he had a problem or seek help. AJ you were born to perform and we look forward to seeing you again up there doing what you do best....(Being AJ McLean) WE LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU A SPPEDY AND FULL RECOVERY...
Love,
Misty and Cassie

Dearest A.J.-
I have stuck with you when I first heard you smoked (which really bothered me) I stuck with you when you were dating all those crazy-cracked headed ho's like Amanda and the red heads! Jessica and I always hated Amanda, but I heard she wasn't helping your depression anyway so there for Jess and I are here for you. I am sure that is what everyone is saying, but I genuinily mean it. I was sad to hear when Brian had heart surgery, Kevin had knee surguery, and All the rest of the heart-filled stories. When I heard you went to rehab, I was kind of happy becuz I kind of knew you weren't happy with life as a Backstreet Boys and all the rest of the shit that came along with it as well as the big-rumors that you weren't good in bed. AJ you and I both know that bitch was mad cuz you kicked her azz outta you hotel room! :p I just want you to get way better and rest your soul and vioce so next time it won't sound like you have emphsyema. I think this is getting long...I heard your grandma was really down to earth I wish I would of known her so I could understnad the pain. I know you're gonna get better, cuz you a tough bone and well I know my baby will make it through. I will be so excited to see you at the concert in September so rest up and you'll be in my prayers...but I know you don't need them becuz you ahve ur wonderful angel with you..your beautiful mom..Denise...
143 Always,
Lizzy

dear aj,
well i just wanted to say is that i have been dealing with depression for a long time probably ever since i started high school and now i going on to the 12th grade. and for a while my life has been a rope that i have been climbing both ends to get where i would like to get. and my best friends have been helping me be grounded but sometimes that doesnt exactly work. and i have been on the edge for a while. and my friends are trying to get me help but once i heard about your situation i know now that i am going to get real help cause i thought that if i tell people my problems they wouldnt understand at all and i thank you in your beliefs, music, and your mind of how to change yourself. and i am so very thankful that you told your fans that you are getting help cause you have made just a great inpact on me that i think i could live a longer life than before. so thank you.

AJ, Despite the fact that we have never met, I have been blessed to have seen you in concert. Although I have never shared in a conversation with you, I have heard you speak on television. While you don't know my name, I could pick you out of a crowd from a mile away. Basically, even though I don't know you, I feel as though I do. I know who you want people to know, the AJ of the Backstreet Boys seen far and wide, and I love you for it. You make so many people of all ages happy each day. The smiles on the faces of thousands as you step on stage light up the already exciting atmosphere. Your voice is simply amazing. So much feeling and such beautiful sounds. I can not even possibly explain the endless hours I have spent enjoying your songs. For the happiness and entertainment added to millions of lives, most definately including my own, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a miracle of life. Yet this thing called life is not so easy. As anything, there are highs and lows. Throughout life we come across people who add to the joys of living. Friends, family, and even strangers whom you see once that seem to affect you in ways you can't understand. It is from these friendships of the good times that keep you moving through the rough ones. What is life? An opportunity to live. To learn. To love. So AJ, I wish you all the best in becoming who you are. We love your music, your dances, your stage personality that keeps us singing and dancing each day. I hope you are able to find the love in your life. Respect yourself because you are truly wonderful. We love you, and good luck :) With lots of love and respect,
Caitlin

AJ-
When I heard the news Monday on TRL my heart went out to you.
You are in my hopes and prayers. Just remember to take one day at a time
and make sure you are completely ok before returning to the road. As a big, big
fan I would rather have a healthy you than one not at all. Working in a hospital
and seeing what I see almost everyday you have already taken that first step in
getting better. Also, know that the Lord is there for you to lean on when ever you
need him and I send my best wishes in hopes that you get better.
Love Always

AJ,
I was so relieved to hear of your progress. I know that you are going to get better. Take it one day at a time. Just remember to keep your faith in God through all of this... and know that all of us (the fans)totally respect this decision. Your health and happiness are the most important things. You deserve that and so much more...
No matter how long your recovery may take, all we want is to see you back to your "old self" In times of trouble the "Backstreet Family" sticks together. No one will turn their backs on you. I can pomise you that... As long as you remember how much we love you and how much we can't picture our lives without you, you can conquer anything.
Because at the end of the day... When all is said and done to us (the fans) BSB will always be # 1... BONE, I love you and I wish you the best of luck with your recovery. Just take things slowly and get better fast. I love you for the man you are and the better man that you'll be once all of this is over... See ya soon BONE,
Nikki
PS: LOVE YA!!! KTBSPA!!!

Hey AJ! I heard about what happened. I'm very sorry. I think it's really cool that you are letting us fans know what's going on instead of just lying to us. We really appreciate it. I also like how you are actually getting help. Many other people out there have been in the same situation and didn't even try to get help which was risking their lives. I really hope you get better soon. I wish you the best of luck! Love ya!

Here in Portugal, all your fans are wainting for good news, ok? Be strong. Kisses to all of you guys, and I hope you get stronger with this, like you always do. JOANAp.s-> Nick, I hope you're not crying anymore, and if you do, clean those tears from your face, and think that in the future, all of you will "stand up" for shure.

Aj,
I realize that the decision you made about Rehab was a tough one but you are SO strong to make that decision.. You have already won by recognizing the fact that you needed help and that is great. Most people go into denial and would NEVER admit that they had a problem but you did and thats GREAT. WE, the fans, are really behind u in this and we are all praying for you and we'll be ready for u when you get back but for now all we care about is you getting better not the tour.. so to AJ, Nick, Brian, Howie and Kevin you well get through this b/c you are all STRONG people and we all love you for that!! BEST WISHES!!
XOXO
