Dear R(RBB)

I regret that Peter Curmudgeon will be unable to participate in your contest.
He has a bitt of a cold and so I'm keeping him at home today.
He says that he already has a certificate and doesn't need another - thank you very much.

Dear Peter The Curmudgeon's mum (Mrs),
That's okay, but it will result in a 0/7 score for little Peter.
Just a bit of friendly advice, maybe it would be a good move to deter Peter from stealing things - we all know about the communion hosts. Now he has taken to forging certificates.
Not a great outcome for a boy who could have become a priest.
