The Virgin boss replied to Smith saying: “You are in good company!”

“Thank you very much for your delightful letter. It is so nice to receive a handwritten note that I thought I would send you one back too.

“I am really glad you enjoyed the videos on dyslexia, and I hope they help many more young people like you as well.

“Your life definitely isn’t ruined – I look forward to hearing what great things you’ve achieved in life.”
