If you don’t ask, you don’t get. At least one little girl has learnt the lesson, after she got her father an entire week off work – by writing to his boss asking for a day off work for her dad.
The girl, only known as Katie, wanted her dad to take a day off work to celebrate his birthday, so decided to take it upon herself to ask his boss for the special occasion.
In a handwritten letter, drafted with blue crayon, Katie wrote:
‘Dear google worker,
Can you please make sure when daddy goes to work, he gets one day off. Like he can get get a day off on wednesday. Because daddy ONLY gets a day off on saturday.
From Katie
P.S. It is daddy’s BIRTHDAY!
P.P.S. It is summer, you know.
It seems she has a way with words, and her father’s boss Daniel Shiplacoff took the time out of his day to not only write a reply, but grant her request:
‘Dear Katie,
Thank you for your thoughtful note and request.
Your father has been hard at work designing many beautiful and delightful things for Google and millions of people across the globe.
On the occasion of his Birthday, and recognizing the importance of taking some Wednesdays off during the summer, we are giving him the whole first week of July as vacation time. Enjoy!
After rumours that the letter was a fake, the tech giant confirmed that both the child’s letter and reply were authentic and that Katie and her father had been granted a week’s holiday in early July.
Good work Katie!
