"There is no doubt that your story will empower countless others outside the millions that are already inspired by your and your art," the letter read. "Please know that you have absolutely no obligation to do anything more but fight for yourself, but if you are willing, we would appreciate learning more about the emotional and financial turmoil you faced within the conservatorship system."
