The Manchester City striker's pregnant ex-girlfriend has written an open letter to him accepting to take a DNA test to prove the baby truly belongs to him. The 27 year old sexy lingerie model, Rattaella Fico wrote an emotionally-charged message in response to the 21 year old Mario Balotelli's accusation that she is "cashing in" on the pregnancy.

The couple separated in April after a tempestuous year long relationship ended up with a doorstep bust up and then two weeks ago Raffaella revealed she is almost four months pregnant and the baby was his.

Her letter reads:

This child I desire with all my heart and I want it because it is not a child that arrived by chance but instead it is the fruit of love between two people and you know well what I am talking about. 
This letter was the only way I could speak to you. I am happy to take the DNA test but I still have the text messages you sent me from Krakow (during Euro 2012) in which you said you were happy with the news I had given you.
Even if the events of life have separated us you will be a present and responsible father, as well as one being full of love for his child. You know full well where to find me and I will always be ready to speak with you about the future of your child. Of our child.”
I’m writing this letter because I was left deeply hurt as a woman but also as a

mother by what you said in your cold statement.
I find it unfair on your part that you wrote (if you indeed did write it) the insinuation that I was cashing in on the birth of our child. 
Dear Mario, and allow me to call you that, I have not been paid for any interview in which I spoke highly of you and of the life together I wanted and where I confirmed rumours that I was pregnant – my tummy is getting bigger all the time and it’s not easy to hide.

It is clear from the letter that she still has feelings for Mario but "super Mario" has insisted there is no chance of a reconciliation.
