Oops: Followup to "Thank you for your gift of $0"

Today I received a followup email to the one about which I blogged a couple days ago. This almost makes it even funnier. And I love that they still say, "I want to underscore that Vanderbilt appreciates each and every gift." Even those of $0. Or less.

Oh, and to make matters even worse, they sent out this email twice. Oh, and why do they need so much HTML for a simple email? Oh, and did we really need Allen Rosso's signature represented to us in image form? Oh, and... no, I'm done.

Vanderbilt Fund - every gift counts every year

Dear Mr. Barzelay,

Many of you recently received an e-mail from me thanking you for your gift of $0.00 to Vanderbilt. That was our mistake.

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. The mistake was the result of an error in our e-mail delivery system. I want to underscore that Vanderbilt appreciates each and every gift. If you've made a gift recently, you'll get an accurate acknowledgement soon.

If you have any questions, please reply to this e-mail or call me at 1-866-822-3863.

Thank you again for your continued loyalty to Vanderbilt.

Sincerely,
Allen

Your "no I'm done" reminds me of a character in Lost in Yonkers.
