"Your words have touched me and I thank you for that... with all my heart," she continues.

Dupre – who also apologizes for not keeping up with pending friend requests – is even appreciative of the haters.

Joe Francis: "It Doesn't Matter" If Ashley Dupre Was Underage

"We can't get a DVD together fast enough," the Girls Gone Wild founder tells Us

Body

Girls Gone Wild founder and CEO Joe Francis can't wait to tap interest in Ashley Dupre, the high-price call girl who serviced Eliot Spitzer.

"We can't get a DVD together fast enough," he told Usmagazine.com. "Her candle is going to burn out pretty quickly, especially after we release our footage."

On Tuesday, Francis publicly offered Dupre a $1 million deal for a Girls Gone Wild photo shoot and tour. While he was haggling with her lawyers, Girls Gone Wild tapes of Dupre from 2003 were unearthed and the deal was called off.

"She wanted more money and less of what we wanted," he tells Us.

"Our footage is from when she was 18-years-old, and it doesn't get much better than that," he proclaims. "Eliot Spitzer has put some miles on that girl!"

Francis plans to sell footage of Dupre – that was taken over a weeklong shoot in Miami when she turned 18 – on girlsgonewild.com, with a trial view costing $4.95.

"She's doing Girls Gone Wild-typical [stuff]: dancing around naked and flashing her breasts," he says.

As for reports Dupre was underage during the Girls Gone Wild shoot, Francis says, "It doesn't matter. There's no sexual contact, so even if she was 17 or 16 for that matter, federal and state law permits posing nude. We're just talking about nudity, not pornography."

Unearthed footage of Eliot Spitzer's call girl includes "nudity and same sex contact"

Body

Girls Gone Wild will release video from Ashley Dupre's week-long stint on their bus in 2003 that includes "nudity and same sex contact," the distributor said in a statement.

Dupre, former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's call girl, was celebrating her 18th birthday in Miami with the Girls Gone Wild crew. Dupre later took a Greyhound Bus home, according to the statement.

Before the footage was found, Dupre was offered a $1 million deal Tuesday by Girls Gone Wild's Joe Francis for a photo spread and bus tour. The offer is now off the table.

"We were surprised to find Ms. Dupre in our archives," Francis said. "She's like a cloud that keeps circling back over the landscape."

Dupre, now 22, has already made over $200,000 from downloads of her songs, the New York Post reported Saturday.

TMZ.com was first report news of the Girls Gone Wild videos.
