Is this standard in any way? I could not believe this email when I read it, I was shocked.

Hi,

As of today, we still have not received your thank you for you scholarship you received in the College of Engineering. Your money has been placed on hold and will not be disbursed into your student account until we receive a thank you. You can send your original signed thank you letter to me in 101 XXXXX Bldg. by Monday, November 26th.

I 100% believe this email. We got letters every fall asking us to write our scholarship's donors to thank them. It wasn't a "you should send them a letter." It was a "you may submit your letters to us by XXXX date."

Followup after followup until you did it -- I hated it. A spontaneous letter to the donors (instead of a package from the university) would be so much nicer.

No threats to take our moniez, but yeah -- this is definitely credible.

No, i didn't think you fabricated it. I just thought it was funny the people who are doling out the scholarships can't spell.

A similar situation happened to me last year when I was went an email saying that if I didn't send a thank you, I would posibly lose out on the scholarship. I refused to do so and it wasn't taken away.

wow.

Here's an idea: how about calling them up, and flipping out on them because you say that you already sent them a thank you? Just claim that you sent a thank you at the beginning of the semester, and you don't understand AT ALL why they didn't get it/freezing your money. Just flip out, tell them you sent it, and tell them if it's that big of deal, you'll send another one... but make them look like the bad guy.
