VF email template - related list on opportunity object?

Creating a VF email tempate for the opportunity object. On the opportunity object we have a related list called Note to Distributor (API Name: Note_to_Distributor__c). I am trying to have the Note to Distributor to appear in the the VF emial template. 

I am recieving the following error: Invalid field Note_to_Distributor__c for SObject Opportunity. This is the section of the code regarding the error. I am not sure why API Name for Note to Distributor is incorrect? 
<apex:repeat var="noteToDis" value="{!relatedTo.Note_to_Distributor__c}">
              <tr>
                <td><a href="https://cs16.salesforce.com/{!noteToDis.id}">View</a> |  
                <a href="https://cs16.salesforce.com/{!noteToDis.id}/e">Edit</a></td>
                <td>{!noteToDis.Note_To_Distributor_Body__c}</td>
                <td>{!noteToDis.CreatedDate)}</td>
              </tr>
         </apex:repeat>

Here is the entire VF Email Template Code: 
<messaging:emailTemplate recipientType="Contact"
  relatedToType="Opportunity"
  subject="New Note to Distributor: {!relatedTo.ChannelRequestAuthorization__c}"
  replyTo="pmiprogrammanager@qlogic.com">
  <messaging:htmlEmailBody >
    <html>
      <body>
        <STYLE type="text/css">

               border-width: 1;  text-align: center } 
          TD  {font-size: 11px; font-face: arial }

        </STYLE>
        <font face="arial" size="2">

Hi Beth,

As per this screenshot, you need to use Notes_to_Distributor__r. So the code will look like: 
<apex:repeat var="noteToDis" value="{!relatedTo.Notes_to_Distributor__r}">
              <tr>
                <td><a href="https://cs16.salesforce.com/{!noteToDis.id}">View</a> |  
                <a href="https://cs16.salesforce.com/{!noteToDis.id}/e">Edit</a></td>
                <td>{!noteToDis.Note_To_Distributor_Body__c}</td>
                <td>{!noteToDis.CreatedDate)}</td>
              </tr>
         </apex:repeat>

Thanks,
Neetu

Hi Beth,

As opportunity object have related list called Note to Distributor (API Name: Note_to_Distributor__c). You need to use the child relationship name here. I guess it would be Note_to_Distributors__r. So your code would be like this: 
<apex:repeat var="noteToDis" value="{!relatedTo.Note_to_Distributors__r}">
              <tr>
                <td><a href="https://cs16.salesforce.com/{!noteToDis.id}">View</a> |  
                <a href="https://cs16.salesforce.com/{!noteToDis.id}/e">Edit</a></td>
                <td>{!noteToDis.Note_To_Distributor_Body__c}</td>
                <td>{!noteToDis.CreatedDate)}</td>
              </tr>
         </apex:repeat>
Please try this, and let me know if it resolve your problem.

Thanks,

Hi Beth,

This should work, are you sure that your child relationship name for Note_to_Distributor__c is Note_to_Distributors__r.

Please double check the relationship name and if still you are not able to resolve it, I need to look into your salesforce org.

Thanks,
Neetu

The Note to Distributor custom object was created by someone else. They don't have a Master-Detial Relationship field on the this object but they do have Lookup Relationship field: Opportunity__c. The Child Relationship Name is Notes_to_Distributor. See image below.

That did the trick. I was missing 's' in Notes. 

Thank you for the help!
