The letter delighted Chloe and her family, with her dad telling BBC News, “We were gobsmacked… She's got a great entrepreneurial spirit. Ever since nursery, she's always been told in school reports she's bright, hard-working and polite - we're very proud of her and her younger sister [Hollie, five] is similar.”

He added that Chloe has already shown a keen eye for business, volunteering to clean the kitchen in return for 20p payment each time.

And he also said the letter had been a great boost for his daughter, whose confidence had been knocked after she was sadly hit by a car a few years ago.

“To say she is delighted after receiving this letter signed by Sundar Pichai himself is an understatement," he wrote in a LinkedIn post.

"Can't thank such a busy person enough to take time out to make a little girl's dream become one step closer."
