The county board gives Elsie, 8, a permit for unicorns

“Can I please get permission to have unicorns at home if we find some or if I get some as a Christmas present” is Elsie Borbèly Hällström’s letter to the county board.

After a week, she received a reply from Governor Helena Jonsson, who gives her permission if she only promises to take a picture of the unicorns and take good care of them.

– I think authorities should respond to letters they receive, says Governor Helena Jonsson.

The story of Elsie’s letter and the response from the governor has quickly spread on social media.

Elsie realizes that the chance of finding a unicorn is limited on a scale, but she is hopeful.

– I think it might be 5 out of 10 to find one, she says.
