Also, I believe awareness would be open to a direct PM from the Jackson camp.
In general, I would encourage reconciliation. But that requires being honest about one's offenses.

Requesting a response is standard practice for any reputable publisher (NY Times, Washington Post, ABC News, etc). There is little extra effort, and then if there is no response you have eliminated the "I didn't see it response" so you raise the credibility. Not responding is considered a de facto acknowledgement of the truth, just as "No contest" is treated similarly to pleading guilty.
