Description

**Link to problem area**: https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#molmv1curve25519-aes-sha2

**Issue**
The example to-device payload is missing the `sender` field which is present in actual implementations.

**Expected behaviour**
Presumably the example should be modified to mention the `sender` field.
