Dear Virginia,

Thank you for your request from gifts from SantaCorp. As you know, the receipt of gifts from Santa[TM] is predicated on the good behavior of the applicant throughout the previous calendar year. Unfortunately, a review of our records shows that your behavior has not met the standards required of gift recipients.

You have repeatedly refused to eat your vegetables, as instructed by your parents. On March 13, you copied the answers to a math test from your classmate Susie Anderson. On July 23, you poked your brother Billy in the nose when he said your new dress made you look "like a big blueberry". And we trust we need not go into your behavior with Jimmy Carruthers behind the bleachers after school on October 3.

Furthermore, as you are now ten years of age, this year would have been the last for which you would have qualified for gifts from Santa[TM], and therefore your relationship with our organization is hereby terminated.

We wish you every success in the future, although we strongly suggest that a modification in your behavior is necessary to ensure it.

Best regards,
Flumpy the Elf
for SantaCorp
