Twelfth Night
Twelfth night is a Shakespeare play.
What happens is a girl (Viola) washes up on the beach after a ship wreck with here twin brother dead (or so she thinks!).
She decides to dress up as a man because it's dangerous being a woman alone in the city.
Meanwhile a duke named Orsino is in love with Olivia, A rich woman who lives in a big house. Her brother died and her uncle, sir Tobby is trying to marry her off to a guy named sir Andrew. (a total jerk!)
So Orsino asks the girl (dressed as a boy) to tell Olivia how good he is. But since Viola looked like a boy Olivia fell in love with her.
A little later Sir Tobby And Sir Andrew came home singing. It was late one night and they were drunk then they convinced Maria (a maid) to sing with them. Then Malvolio (a very serious servant) stopped them! They got MAD!!! and so they decided to send him a letter from "Olivia" saying she wants him to wear yellow socks (she doesn't like that colour) with cross garters ( She HATES them) and smile because she loves him.
What will happen?
Will Olivia merry sir Andrew? Will she ever forgive Malvlio?
Find out in Twelfth Night!

What a great synopsis!
So if the servant Malvolio got them mad, and Olivia had to give Malvolio a letter, why does Olivia have to forgive Malvolio?
