A deeply personal Valentine's Day card, penned by the late singer Amy Winehouse to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil while he was incarcerated, is scheduled for auction. This significant piece of memorabilia will be offered for sale in Surrey, approximately 18 years after it was sent.
Fielder-Civil received the card in 2008, during a 27-month prison sentence for attacking a pub landlord and perverting the course of justice. At the time of this heartfelt message, Winehouse had already initiated divorce proceedings from Fielder-Civil and was reportedly vacationing in the Caribbean with a new boyfriend.

She concluded the note with "I love you, handsome. 4 years your Amy x."
