Q1: what's the meaning of 'Canny wait"?

Q2: Is 'Yee Ha' the last name?

Q3: would anyone please read the report from the Daily Mail ? It is not too long. I don't understand why it sweeps the Internet. It seems to me the tone is not respectful, even she decides to quit, but is there anything unusal about the letter? why do some people claim it is fake?

Thanks!

It might be fake. eg The spelling of job as joab seems to m like an educated person's attempt to seem uneducated.

Thank you both for your replies. Clive, I appreciate you took time to read the report.

I still don't understand why it is funny. Are most Britons very polite and reserved even they quit their jobs, so the frankness of letter is standing out?
