Here is a great letter from MIT to a prospective student and that student's response.


Mr. John T. Mongan
123 Main Street
Smalltown, California 94123-4567

Dear John:

You've got the grades. You've certainly got the PSAT scores. And now you've got a letter from MIT. Maybe you're surprised. Most students would be.

But you're not most students. And that's exactly why I urge you to consider carefully one of the most selective universities in America.

The level of potential reflected in your performance is a powerful indicator that you might well be an excellent candidate for MIT. It certainly got my attention!

Engineering's not for you? No problem. It may surprise you to learn we offer more than 40 major fields of study, from architecture to brain and cognitive sciences, from economics (perhaps the best program in the country) to writing.

What? Of course, you don't want to be bored. Who does? Life more...

A young executive was leaving the office at 6pm when he found his boss standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper
In hand. "listen," said the boss, "this is important, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?" "certainly,"
Said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "excellent, excellent!"
Said the boss as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "i just need one copy."

The following is an exact transcription of a letter John Mongan received from MIT, and the reply that he sent them.Unfortunately, they chose to discontinue their correspondence at that point. I have heard, however, that their recruitment letter has been revised and is far less snotty than it once was.

A soldier was asked to report to the headquarters sergeant for an assignment.
The sergeant said, “We have a critical shortage of typists. I'll give you a
little test. Type this, ” he ordered, giving him a pamphlet to copy and a sheet of paper, and pointing to a desk across the room that held a typewriter and an adding machine.
The man, quite reluctant to become a clerk typist, made a point of typing very slowly, and saw to it that his work contained as many errors as possible.
The sergeant gave the typed copy only a brief glance. “That's fine, ”" he said. “Report for work at 8 tomorrow. ”
“But aren't you going to check the test? ” the prospective clerk asked.
The sergeant grinned. “You passed the test, ” he replied, “when you sat down at the typewriter instead of at the adding machine. ”
