Thank you very much for your letter. It was nice to hear from you again after such a long time and we are sorry we have been delayed replying. We are receiving over 4,000 letters every week and are having diffi culty answering them as quickly as we would like.
We were interested to hear that you think you know how to make living people – and your list of necessary items intrigued us! We are sorry we can’t help you at all, but we wondered if you had thought of talking to your family doctor – he might be glad to help you with some diagrams and other information.
We are sending you a photograph of the Blue Peter team – it has been signed specially for you.
With best wishes from Valerie, John, Peter, Lesley and all of us on the programme.
Yours sincerely, B (Biddy Baxter) Editor Blue Peter
Imagine that you are on the Blue Peter team. Discuss with a classmate what you think you should say in a letter in reply to Anthony. Then work together to write the letter.
