It seems she has a way with words, and her father’s boss Daniel Shiplacoff took the time out of his day to not only write a reply, but grant her request:
'Dear Katie,
Thank you for your thoughtful note and request.
Your father has been hard at work designing many beautiful and delightful things for Google and millions of people across the globe.
On the occasion of his Birthday, and recognizing the importance of taking some Wednesdays off during the summer, we are giving him the whole first week of July as vacation time. Enjoy!
After rumours that the letter was a fake, the tech giant confirmed that both the child’s letter and reply were authentic and that Katie and her father had been granted a week’s holiday in early July.
Good work Katie!
