Dear Dustin,

We believe you have the character and talent that will fit right in here and also help strengthen our community.

 

The Scholarship Committee has also reviewed your file. Based on your credentials, the Committee has selected you to be a recipient of a Centenary Academic Award in the amount of $10,000.

So I had nothing better to do than type my acceptance letter. Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited.
