Ananova:

A six-year-old boy posted 33p through the letterbox of a car dealer - to buy his dad a new car for his birthday.

Mazda MX5 dealership boss David Brewster, who found the envelope containing the coins and letter, said: "It's so sweet.

"We've never had a message like this before. At first we couldn't understand it.

"But we read it through a few times and worked out it's from a six-year-old boy. He had put the money in with the letter and asked for a car for his dad's birthday.

"I'm guessing the boy and his father must walk past our building regularly and his dad must say he wants one of our models."

The letter reads: "I want to get my dad a car. He wants a car from you please. My mum has got a car so I want my dad to have one.

"When is my dad going to get it? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday?"

Contact telephone numbers were left in the letter, mostly written in pencil, but were illegible.

The envelope was pushed through the letterbox of Dandy Cars.com in Newbury Park, Essex. The lad signed the letter Adil and said he lives in Lynn Road, Newbury Park.
