FOR XML to generate dynamic script to drop multiple tables

Question

Log_Table has a column named Col1 where we have table names
Col1
TableA1
TableA2
TableA3
TableB1
TableC1
TableC2
Generate dynamic script to drop tables that are in Log_Table and starts with TableA.
Instead of using the loop, use For XML

Thanks Visakh16 [+1],
you are right there was typo mistake :-) I forgot the variable in the end, and Thanks Naomi [+1],
this is true and better to use quotename or just add brackets. Actually I will not choose this approach since we chould use schema as well. the DDL in the OP is not something that I will create probably.
In any case, here is the fixed query (current approach):
declare @SQLString NVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT
@SQLString = (select
N'IF OBJECT_ID (N''' + CAST([Col1] AS VARCHAR(MAX)) + N''') IS NOT NULL drop table [' + CAST([Col1] AS VARCHAR(MAX)) + N']; '
FROM Log_Table
WHERE (Col1 like 'TableA%')
FOR XML PATH (''))
--print @SQLString
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString
GO
