Damien the point most here have made is that writing a letter is all well and good but NOT if you spell the name of the dead soldier wrong and then scribble it out and send the letter anyway. How long would it have taken for him to start again without the scribbled out mis spell of the name seriously if you can't have attention to detail in writing a letter fo this nature exactly where do you have attention to detail and isn't attention to detail something we should have in the person running the country.

For what it's worth i don't care who wrote the letter if david cameron or nick clegg had wrote this letter in the way it was written i would have said exactly the same things about the letter. Respect isn't just a word it is something you demonstrate in many ways and if your going to hand write a letter you then include that in the way your respect for something is demonstrated.

Unlike i suspect the vast vast majority of people on this forum i have been in the position of writing to the loved one's of a solider that was killed and i can tell you it was one of the hardest things i had to do and i never ever managed to convey myself or my feelings in one attempt three or four was the norm and every single detail was correct as that was my last act on behalf of a colleague and sometimes a friend so it was the very least i could do and the least they deserved.

Those letters mean more then many can understand to the familys that recieve them and a badly written one can have a huge affect as i believe is the case here. I do not support the sun at all and completely agree they are using this woman for their own ends even though at the minute and possibly not completely in her right mind she is going along with it.

I am also mindful of the fact that after being injured and the affects from that i couldn't write those letters now but if i was in a job where i needed too i would make damn sure someone looked over what i had written there is no excuse here for some of the sloppiness that was in that letter.
