A little late

Dear Sallie Mae,
While I appreciate the concern you have for my parents in regards to financing my college education and giving me a brighter future, I would just like to remind you that you are about 9 years too late.  In fact, you might be a bit surprised but my parents have never lived at this address either, nor were they willing to pay my way through school.  If I didn't receive scholarships, I had to find my own way of making sure tuition each semester was covered, giving me even more reason to buckle down and try to graduate early.
Thanks for checking in, but we do not need your priority code and I surely don't have 20 minutes to see whether or not we qualify for an unnecessary student loan.

Sincerely,
Lindsay

I think you're forgetting the possibility that you'd ever travel back in time. Then, it's usefulness is valid.

Oh yes! That never crossed my mind. Obviously I haven't taken time travel very seriously lately. Where is my brain? Perhaps I should go back to college. :)
