Canadian film-maker Sarah Polley has shared a " cruel" April Fools ' joke played on her by none other than her 11-year-old daughter.

" We feel it is wrong you get this on 1 April as you will probably think it is a joke, and we feel that is wrong, so another letter will be sent assuring you that this is not a joke, " The Letter said.
" This is much too cruel to be a joke, ergo we deeply apologise for any inconvenience we may have caused you. "
