The spoof letter-writer is not a new phenomenon. Henry Root notoriously kicked it all off in the 1960s and 70s. More recently, [[''The Timewaster Letters]] '' of Robin Cooper continued the tradition in a more whimsical vein. ''Delete This at Your Peril'' carries the genre into the internet age.
As is customary, the ostensible writer of the letters, in this case Bob Servant (B[e] Observant - geddit?!?), is a pseudonym for the actual writer. Here it is Neil Forsyth, a freelance journalist from the Dundee suburb of Broughty Ferry (also the home of Bob).
