A deeply personal handwritten note from Jennifer Aniston to her late Friends co-star Matthew Perry has been withdrawn from an auction of the actor's belongings that is set to take place on 5 June in Dallas.

The auction

Heritage Auctions is set to sell dozens of items that belonged to Perry, including a Banksy artwork and a selection of his suits. The sale is open to fans and will be held in Dallas on 5 June.

However, Heritage Auctions confirmed to The Independent that Aniston's letter will no longer form part of the auction. No reason has been given for the withdrawal.

What the letter said

The note is reported to have been written by Aniston around the time Friends came to an end in 2004. In it, the Morning Show star expressed how much Perry's presence meant to her and reflected on the difficulties he had faced over the years.

"Matty! Oh my God. How am I going to live without your light in my life on a daily basis?" Aniston wrote, according to The Independent.

She continued: "I know that the light has been dimmed at times, and there were moments I was so scared it was going to go out altogether. You have always come back."

Aniston went on to affirm that Perry had "so much to give" and expressed her gratitude to him "for choosing to live this life." She also looked back fondly on the first time they had met at a bar before offering her unwavering support.

"We have come a long way, baby. I am so proud of you, and I am always here for you. You may not think to call me, but I am always here," she wrote.

The letter closed with a warm tribute to their shared years on the show: "This has been quite a home we have shared, and I so cherish it and you. I love you. Jenny!"
