By Thomas MackintoshBBC News
Canadian film-maker Sarah Polley has shared a " cruel" April Fools ' joke played on her by none other than her 11-year-old daughter.
A letter turned up on Saturday Morning , reading " We say this to you with the deepest regrets: The Oscar you received was Given by mistake. "
Polley won The Best adapted screenplay for Women Talking at the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles last month.
The Letter , posted on Twitter, asked her to " mail it back" to California.
It said she could keep the award for One More week so she could " enjoy its presence" in her home.
But ultimately, it needed to be returned so it could go to the " rightful" winner: All Quiet on the Western Front .
" We Are sorry for your loss, But it is only fair that The Play with The Best adapted screenplay gets The Oscar . "
Polley's daughter went on to joke that Oscar bosses had realised their error on The Day the award was Given - But wanted to avoid another blunder like.

" To Save On mailing costs as I live overseas The Academy has asked me to provide you with my address so you can ship The Oscar directly, " he tweeted to Polley.
" I will follow up shortly. Ok With You ? "
Polley, who shot to fame as an actor in the 1990s, swiftly realised The Letter was not Written By The Academy , But by Her Daughter as an April Fools ' Day prank.
But she made it clear she wasn't impressed - Saying her 11-year-old daughter " swung low" for April Fools ' Day.
" 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. "
