 A 7-year-old Scottish boy who sent a birthday card to his father in heaven has received a heart-warming reply.

A Royal Mail official responded to 7-year-old Jase Hyndman's letter after seeing that the card was addressed: “Mr Postman, Can you take this to heaven for my dad’s birthday.”

Responding to the young boy's card requesting it to be sent to "heaven", Royal Mail's Sean Milligan wrote: "I just wanted to take this opportunity to contact you about how we succeeded in the delivery of your letter, to your dad in heaven.

"This was a difficult challenge avoiding stars and other galactic objects on route to heaven," the note also added.

The Royal Mail's reply went onto say: "I will continue to do all I can to ensure delivery to heaven safely."
