A letter from the Master was a special edition story that formed part of A Letter from the Doctor series. It was printed in DWM 311.
Summary
The Master is asked to write in for Doctor Who Magazine...
Plot
On the thirteenth floor of Plasmaton House, in Krasis & Hippias Passage, located T'mnbrrrj Swells, Cptn Dent, the Master reminisces that he had disintegrated the editorial team when they asked him to write an introduction to their "tawdry periodical" devoted to himself, Doctor Who Magazine.
After he says that he isn't all bad, he admits that his life as the megalomaniac's megalomaniac isn't all "murder, miniaturisation, and mercenary acts", as he recalled that "just the other decade" he had spoken to Rupert, who organised his media interests on Earth in the late 20th century and the early 21st century, saying that his "charity work" goes unnoticed, which he doesn't actually like to talk about (lest to garner the negative attention of the Time Lords).
Characters

References
- "Megalomaniac's megalomaniac" was a title that the Master had received sixty-eleven times by the readers of Dictator's Digest.
- The Master mentions that the Time Lords wouldn't look favourably upon him if they found out about the work placements he had given to a group of jobless Earth colonists in Sabre-Toothed Gorilla House of the Galactic Zoo, in part to the Master's definition of "humanitarian aid" involving the feeding of humans to the gorillas.
- Rupert's brain had been swapped out by the Master for that of a Bandril's.
- Sales of Bendalypse Post had been "soaring in it's new tabloid, wipe-clean form".
Notes
to be added
Continuity
- The Doctor (PROSE: A Letter from the Doctor 1, A letter from the Doctor 2007, et al.) and Peter Capaldi had both also written letters in for Doctor Who Magazine. (PROSE: A Letter from the Doctor 464, A Letter from the Doctor 500)
- Doctor Who Magazine later published an email that they intercepted from Malcolm Taylor about the possibility of Missy's survival after cyber-converted Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart seemingly killed her. (PROSE: The Secret Diary of the Master)
