After achieving a unique and rather surprising Premiership and FA Cup double, myself and the team thought it only proper that we thank you personally for your tremendous support this season. Had it not been for your marvellous loyalty in watching us faithfully both on BBC and Sky, I am sure that we at the club could never have pulled it off. It is support like yours that makes this club what it is and I know that Eric would never have had the confidence to put those cup final penalties away without the knowledge that you were behind him, albeit several hundred miles behind. I only wish you could have been able to witness the League Cup final, but I understand that you were round your wife's mother's hone for the day and so naturally were unable to witness our humiliating failure to achieve the coveted treble.

It only remains for me to offer my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the time and effort you have put into the club over the years (I understand that you've been supporting us ever since we beat Barcelona all those years ago, in 1991) and we all look forward to seeing you in person one day at the Theatre of Hate One day. Perhaps.

Yours Sincerely,

Alex Ferguson.

P.S The commercial department would also like to extend their appreciation to you for having purchased all the current team shirts. What a fan! They assure me that you will again be able to show your support for the club next season by being able to purchase at least another two new designs.
