A note to alumni fundraisers

It is really really really bad to contact someone asking for money without bothering to ensure that you have the right name.

It makes your recipient feel unimportant… So I won’t be giving you money… For a long time.

It doesn’t take an MBA to see that chain of events.

(Sorry, they also caught me on a day when I’m in a bad mood, most other days I’d just laugh it off but not today)

    Hi Riz, the School does a daily survey of the web and blogosphere and your note came up. We’d be happy to hear directly from you about your experience so that we can ensure we get it right. You can contact me at alumni@rotman.utoronto.ca.

    Ha-ha! Is this truly the Rotman spirit? Do people all feel pissed off at the school for a formatting mistake?
