Earlier today, I was forwarded the text of what is apparently a genuine letter sent to the principal of Lions Bay School in Vancouver after the school had sponsored a lunch for senior citizens.
A lady at the event was given a new radio as a prize and, afterwards, decided to write to say thank you.
I hope you laugh as much as I did when I read it.

Dear Lions Bay School
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior Citizens luncheon.
I am 84 years old and live at the West Vancouver Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone and I want to thank you for the kindness shown to a forgotten old lady.
My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio; but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.
The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.
She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to fuck off.
Thank you for that opportunity.
Sincerely,
Edna
