A seven year old girl Chloe Bridgewater, in Hereford sent a job application letter to technology giant 'Google' and got something of a shock after receiving a response from Google boss.
In the letter, Chloe wrote about her skills and interest in working for the company one day, and highlighted her experience with using tablets and robot games.
And she wrote: "My dad told me to give you (an) application to get a job in Google. I don't really know what one of them is but he said a letter would do for now.
"Thank you for reading my letter, I have only ever sent one other and that was to Father Christmas. Good bye," she concluded.
According to reports, Julie (Chloe's mum) said her face "just lit up" when she saw the envelope with the Google logo on it.
"I didn't expect a response at all, it was a complete shock," she said.
"It was really lovely for Chloe because she put so much effort into writing the letter. She did it over the course of two days."
The letter went viral after Mr Bridgewater posted it on LinkedIn. It gained more than 10 million views, and prompted phone calls from around the world.
In that LinkedIn post, Andy (Chloe's father) said the letter was a much-needed confidence booster for Chloe, who was "knocked down" by a car years ago.
Andy said Chloe's fascination with Google began recently, when she asked her father where his ideal place to work would be.
Andy, who currently works in sales for a refrigeration-system parts manufacturer said, 'Oh, Google would be a nice place to work,'" he said, because of its world-famous perks and the cutting-edge work it does.
When Chloe decided she wanted to work there, too, her father encouraged her to apply and "get the ball rolling," he said.
All the attention garnered from Pichai's response has redoubled Chloe's drive to work for Google. Andy says his daughter now wants to find a way into the Silicon Valley-based company through going on TV and talking to the media.
He's largely resisted, though, saying he wants her to focus on her studies and develop her skills.
But Andy wants to brush up on his own technological skills to catch up with Chloe.
In his reply, Google C.E.O, Mr Sundar Pichai told her: "I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to.
"I look forward to receiving your job application when you finish school."
