The link to the Dallas Observer about the 1999 letter written in 2007 is dead however google cache has this summary for completeness:

“One of the world’s leading type-face designers says the letter, dated October 29, 1999, is printed in Calibri typeface, which was not introduced until 2007, through Microsoft.

“The font used is Calibri,” said Luc(as) de Groot, a Dutch type designer and founder of Berlin, Germany LucasFonts.

How can de Groot be certain it is Calibri? He designed the font in 2003 for Microsoft, though the font wasn’t available to the public until it debut on Microsoft Office 2007.

Bob Hayes died on September 18, 2002. Lucille Hester, who says she is Hayes’ half-sister, has said he signed and gave the letter to Lucille during an Oct. 1999 trip to visit her in Washington, D.C.”

So there I was, baffled by why this page had 3,000 more views than the average, when I see that @bengoldacre was kind enough to link here in a tweet. I've never enjoyed seven seconds of fame more. Hat off to you sir.

I think you mean, in the words of Morrissey: “there’s always someone, somewhere
with a big nose, who knows / and who trips you up and laughs when you fall”
