Dear Student,

Thank you for your concern about your English placement. I understand that you don't want to take the course you placed into. I definitely agree that because you took "a lot" of English courses in high school that definitely exempts you from college English. 

The many courses you took in High School obviously prepared you for college and your test scores just don't accurately reflect your ability. I know you will "work hard" and should therefore we should make an exception for you to take a class higher than where you've placed. We should definitely agree with you and express no concern for the preparation you have and your ability to be successful. Again, I forgot that you're willing to "work hard". It has nothing to do with content that you need to know.

You are right - our placement test is completely lame and unfair. It definitely doesn't take into account your current skills or abilities. It's an arbitrary process that you should be exempt from. And just because you don't want to take the course, you shouldn't have to.

Sincerely,
Me
