Dear Boris,

Up front have to say, absolutely no interest in Higher Education related issues. I know the advert says it is “a must”, but you don’t believe that and I don’t either, so let us get down to brass tacks. Am bright, wonky and all that plus a bag of chips. Obviously am too smart for the write a recount of “a curry you ate on a moon walk as an under-grad” jape. The advert is a bit vague about pay and totty opportunities. Get back to me.
