On Christmas Eve, a postman is collecting letters from the post box when he comes across a letter addressed to Father Christmas

Intrigued, he opens it, to find, scrawled in orange crayon, the words:

"Dear Santa,

My family is very poor, so this year I don't want any presents. Please could you just send me $20 so I can give it to my parents?

Love Kevin Ng".

Touched, the postman searches his pockets, where he finds a $10 note. Thinking this would surely be better than nothing, he puts it into an envelope along with a note from 'Father Christmas' wishing the boy a Merry Christmas, making a mental note to deliver it himself the next morning.

A week later, the postman collects letters from the same postbox when he spots another letter with the same handwriting again addressed to Father Christmas. Smiling, he opens the letter to find a reply that read

"Dear Father Christmas,

Thank you for the money you sent! My mum was so pleased when I gave it to her. However, I did ask for $20 but when I opened the envelope there was only $10 inside. Don't worry about it though, the Singpost postman probably stole it.

Love Kevin Ng".
