Very simple - just use the SAME pen and draw over the exact line of scribble and while still wet, quickly wipe away with a soft cloth. Do small pieces at a time for best result. Repeat 'til all gone! Good luck!

It depends on what the surface is like.
If it's a varnished surface, gentle rubbing with a cloth soaked in lighter fuel works well with most pens; or else use natural 'Sticky Stuff Remover', which is sold in most supermarkets.
If it's a bare wood surface and the ink has soaked in, then all you can really do is try the above to get the worst of the ink out, and then sand down the area with a very fine grade of sandpaper (e.g. 240).
With a polished surface, try the liquids first. They'll likely dissolve the polish a bit as well. Let it dry, and then touch up with either a bit of French Polish or Patina Gel rubbed in with a soft cloth.
Good Luck!

Acetone or trichloroetheane will remove the mark but most likely also remove any varnish
I possible work around is very fine -000- wire wool . it will dull the varnish but you should be able to repair the dull appearence with several coats of thinned down varnish .
Failing that its stripping and revarnishing

I would try the rubbing alchol as well. Spirit oil, but that may take the finish off the desk.

White Spirit, harsh language and a bit of elbow grease.

I have used cigarette ash and a damp cloth for years.
The ash is so fine it cleans with out damaging any surface.
