Dear children,

The new school term has started and it will be studies once more. This week we have outlined some rules on how you should write essays. This advice comes in the wake of allegations that children who have entered our essay competitions have copied word for word from various sources on the Internet.

Children, you must never copy. It is better to write an essay with mistakes rather than copying because this could be easily found out. Even if it is not so you must always be creative and original in whatever you do. If you think that you must be a winner then keep on trying but ensure at all costs that it must be your original work . Don't plagiarise because in the end you will get caught.

Bye for now,

Aunty Merle
