Once you have the GBP 20 reimbursed say you found a cheaper shirt available so you took the original back and got a refund. Pay your employer GBP 5 and all is settled and you have a better shirt than you would otherwise have. No fraud has been committed as far as I can see.
Interesting... but wouldn't this strategy require you to send such a letter every time you go to the conference?
