He said no... but in the nicest way possible 🥹⁠ ⁠ A fan once wrote to Sir David Attenborough asking for a birthday greeting, but instead received this thoughtful response.⁠ ⁠ In the letter, Attenborough explained that he believes birthday messages should be exchanged between "family members and friends" and that sending one to someone he doesn't know "would thus inevitably appear insincere."⁠ ⁠ Rather than simply declining the request, he enclosed a signed photograph and ended the letter by saying: "I do hope you will understand."⁠ ⁠ A classy response that feels very Sir David Attenborough ❤️⁠ ⁠ #attenborough #wholesome #ladbible
