I have tried first option and throw a syntax error:
./testnew.sh
CAUTION : Files once deleted cannot be restored
Would you like to continue? ("yes" or "no"): yes
./testnew.sh[7]: syntax error at line 13 : `date' unexpected

Here is the edited script:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
x=${0##*/}
LOGFILE="x.log"
echo "CAUTION : Files once deleted cannot be restored"
printf 'Would you like to continue? ("yes" or "no"): '
read INPUT
case "$INPUT" in
(yes)   while read -r i
        do      date -u "+ %Y%m%d %H:%M  GMT -[*] - Deleting files $i"
                rm -r "$i" 2
        done < deletefiles.txt;;
(no)    date -u '+ %Y%m%d %H:%M GMT - [!] - Deleting files cancelled'
(*)     date -u '+ %Y%m%d %H:%M GMT - [!] - Invalid choice, choose again'
esac | tee $LOGFILE
