I've just dealt with the 'hand' written aspect in my previous post. In any event, given the rather shabby appearance of Brown's letter I'm surprised that it was sent in that form - it's hardly something which conveys great care and attention to detail so perhaps in such tragic circumstances someone in No. 10 should have made Mr Brown aware of that and opted for the word-processor....

A letter has to be sent by the PM but whether it has to be done by hand is unclear and frankly I'd doubt it. My real point is that PM's always send letters and in this case the whole hurtful furore would have been avoided if Brown had chosen to dictate and signed a letter.
