Dear Melissa,
After an extensive review by two committees followed by careful deliberation by Dean Wynn Stirling, you have been chosen to receive the Graduate Research Fellowship award in the amount of $15,000. Attached please find your award letter discussing the conditions of this award. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the attached letter or the fellowship award in general.
Congratulations on this great accomplishment. Less than 30% of the applications we received were awarded monies, so you are to be commended for your excellent proposal.
Have a nice day.
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(More screaming and dancing. I'm sure the entire 5th floor of the Widstoe building is now aware of my elation!)
CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you! The "Have a nice day" at the end of the letter seems like such an understatement. I'm pretty sure you will.
