This strongly reminds me of my own blog's draft pile

So, I was reading up on that most eccentric British soldier AD Wintle, and came across this:

After his death, the editor of The Times published a letter Wintle had sent to him in 1946. It read:

Sir,
I have just written you a long letter.
On reading it over, I have thrown it into the waste paper basket.
Hoping this will meet with your approval,
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
AD Wintle
