Hey Santa,
How are you? I am great. Thank- you for the presents you brought me last year. They weren't exactly what I wanted but I give someone a hand the effort you took to get them to me.
However, to ensure you don't miss the mark so completely this year I am sending you this email. Unswerving, I am aware, on the balance of probabilities, that you are a construct of a savvy marketing unite intent on selling more toys and don't exist in the real sense my parents would have me hold. And sure, I am aware the odds are against you having the slightest clue about whether I have been unruly or nice, but here is the thing: I can't categorically prove or disprove your existence at this the theatre so I am running with it.
That's what seven-year-olds do.
Bear in mind, as a back-up, I have cc'ed mum and dad in on this because in the close by I have got the feeling you colluded with them about what to fill my stocking with anyway. So don't be offended. It isn't a group email. I would never send you one of those. Vexed my heart.
