The Cheek of that University!

[same_difference]

Did anyone else recieved a letter from a certain south west university asking you to donate to their alumni fund?

With handy tick boxes offering options of pledging £50, £300, £1000 or a preferred sum (with quite a large entry box.

Which had the line "Although you graduated only recently, and might not yet be in a position to help, if you are able to contribute to the fund, I should be particularly grateful".

And statements about how you should be grateful for your time at university to the institution, and how they are such a poor unfortunate university too new to have 'accumulated endowments over the centuries' and without 'huge benefactions' which helped launch other places.

Gah, and Bah I say. That letter will go with all the other crap they've sent over the years on the fire to burn.
