Wright State University: Another Translation

Dear Graduate Student [Dear Mark],

If you plan to pursue a Ph. D. Degree, Wright State University in Dayton, OH offers great opportunites. [Our program is so pathetic we have to advertise it by sending the same, tired spam email out once a month. Also, we misspelled "opportunities" intentionally because we didn't want to get sued for false advertising.] I have atttached [sic] a letter listing scholarships, areas of research, and facilities available in our nationally acclaimed [totally unheard of] College of Engineering and Computer Science. [This letter even goes so far as to define the term "Computer Science", since we're mostly in the business of awarding graduate degrees to people who have never previously encountered the phrase.] Please email me at nikolaos.bourbakis@wright.edu or call 937-775-5138 if you have any questions or would like a campus visit. [But don't bother emailing me politely to ask if I will remove you from our mailing list: I pipe all of that stuff to /dev/null.]

Nikolaos G. Bourbakis, Ph. D.
Director, CSE Ph. D Program
