Dear Genevieve Your Mummy has just handed me a copy of your super letter asking your Headteacher to help raise money for the sick babies at St Mary’s Hospital. I think it is really caring and thoughtful of you, Genevieve, to write such a letter and I will exhibit your letter on our intranet site for everyone to see. Your Mummy will show you the site and your letter once it is completed. Your Headteacher cannot fail to be very impressed with your letter because the handwriting is really neat and clear. The letter is also well written and I’m sure the Headteacher will help to raise lots of money for the sick babies. Thank you very much, Genevieve, for taking the time to think of others. Have a really fantastic Christmas and I know that Father Christmas will bring you lots of lovely presents because you have been so good. Merry Christmas!
