I saw the letter and I noticed that it's very short. This is usually a big problem for authorship attribution programs.
What techniques did you use?
The method applied is the one proposed by Potha and Stamatatos (2014): A Profile-Based Method for Authorship Verification (Proceedings of the 8th Conference on Artificial Intelligence: Methods and Applications, Ioannina, Greece, May 2014)
