Oh ye of little Faith! Girl owns up to breaking Xmas bauble with cute letter

Faith, that's the girl's name, sent the letter after she accidentally broke the decoration while visiting a John Lewis shop in Cambridge.

Staff now want to find Faith to thank her for the gesture, and searched for her using Twitter, saying: “Are you Faith the Cambs xmas bauble breaker? John Lewis want to say thank you!”

Store manager Dominic Joyce told the Mail: “The letter arrived on Tuesday afternoon and had no return address or indication of who the young girl was. We really want to find out who she is so we can thank her.

“She visited us on one of our busiest weekends of the year and we still are unsure as to which bauble was broken. We’d like to thank her and because of her adorable letter maybe give her something from the store she would like.”

Mr Joyce also tweeted: “The cutest letter sent to JL Cambridge. There is no address so we wanted to thank Faith on Twitter.”

He said he hoped to find Faith so she could be given some treats.

Dominic said: “We don’t have much to go on – just a first name, a Cambridge postmark and what might be a self-portrait.

“It’s a possibility that she and her parents want this to be a nice gesture and don’t want any thanks.

“But if they do come forward, we would love to thank Faith.

“We get lots of nice letters but nothing quite as special as this.”

A woman last night claimed on Twitter she saw the whole thing.

Keep the Faith!
