Kia ora koutou to all my friends in New Zealand,

Christmas is just around the corner, and I’m getting jolly excited - I hope you are too!

I’ve been working closely with the little elves at Barnardos New Zealand this year, and they’re going to help me to get in touch with all my favourite boys and girls during the festive season.

For a suggested donation of $10 or more, a child you know can receive a personalised letter from me! Imagine their delight at getting a letter in the post box, and their huge smiles when they see that I’ve written to them personally.   

So please, spread the magic of Christmas this year and help Barnardos to support vulnerable children in New Zealand.

To order a personalised Letter from Santa for a child or children you know, go to the Barnardos website – www.barnardos.org.nz and click on the Letter from Santa link on the homepage.

Our North Pole mailing station is open from 1 October 2013 to 15 December 2013. Please be sure to fill in all the details so that my elves know exactly where to post the letter to!

Thanks for your support and have a magical Christmas!

Your friend,

Santa
