Dear sir, my most favourite cookie as a child was cinnamon based. I absolutely adored them. I have heard that they are still made by your company but only sold in Canada. Will you please start supplying and selling them again in the UK. Meantime please send me a box to the following address 85, Granary Way, HORSHAM, West Sussex,united Kingdom

Thanking you in anticipation
