The Letter that the father wrote back is a real kicker!
Thank you for offering our son, 987-65-4321, or as we affectionately refer to him around the house - 987 - a position in the A.S.U. class of 2003. His mother, 123-45-6MOM and I are very happy that such a prestigious institution of higher education such as A.S.U. has extended this offer.
In selecting a College for 987, we are looking for a place that will prepare him for the technological challenges of the 21st century. We seek a College in which he can learn to master computers and learn to communicate with clarity and sensitivity. I can only imagine the competence with which you will, as your Letter puts so well, "assist 987-65-4321 in making a successful transition from high school to College ."
We will miss 987 when he goes off to school, and are very interested in a College in which he will receive personal attention. I was particularly touched by your sentence in which you note that our "relationship with 987-65-4321 may change in the next few years." This is certainly true. Already we are beginning to focus as well on his brother, 123-45-6BRO.
I look forward to additional communications from your office. You manage to convey more in your Letter s than any other College we have seen thus far.
Sincerely,
123-45-6DAD
A.k.a. Jeff Bradley
