Dear Oliver and Ben,
I loved seeing you win the maltesers at the Infant Summer Fair chocolate tombola. Your smiles of delight will be forever imprinted in my mind. I appreciate that you were a little bit cross absolutely livid with Mummy and Daddy for munching all of them greedily but they were too tempting in the larder at 9pm whilist watching Red 2 ( great film if you love Helen Mirren) . I fully understand how you felt wronged and will never steal your maltesers again. Please accept this maltesers cake as an apology…
Love
Mummy and Daddy x
