Officials at a Massachusetts college are apologizing to their alumni for a fund-raising letter that attempted to sound irreverent by featuring long sections of “blah, blah, blah.”
“With the recent economic downturn and loan crisis, it has become even more important for Framingham State College to receive your support. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.”
“Our decision to send you a letter containing the words “blah blah” was a misguided and embarrassing attempt to connect with alumni in a different way,” Christopher P. Hendry, vice president of college advancement, said in an apology letter.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
