so famous all over the world. I feel honored to be admitted by your
department.I will consult some professors for advice and tell you my
decision after careful consideration.

　　Thank you again for you in the process of my application

2.接受offer

　　Hi Paula,

　　I decide to accept your offer after careful consideration. I will
request ETS to send official GRE general score.

　　Is the formal notification of the acceptance of my application from the
Admissions Committee sent by regular mail or by express? If you use the
latter please tell me the tracking number of the package because my mailing
address has difficulty to accept such mails. Sorry for the trouble.

3.绝offer,同时不妨推荐飞友，虽然可能不会有多大作用

　　Sorry for my late reply to your offer letter of admission and financial
support.

　　In cooperation with my classmates and my teachers, I carefully reviewed
the gracious offer from you. UW is really a famous university that we all
admire, and I think your financial aid is sufficient enough for me to live
an easy life in USA. However, I regret to inform you that I can't take this
precious opportunity, because I have made my decision to accept another
offer of Fellowship from Stanford University.

　　For this position, I can recommend Mr.XXX who has applied⁵ to your
department. In terms of scholastic⁶ capacity and work ability, he is also a
strong applicant³. He, however, has not received notification of admission
or financial aid. I believe he will be delighted to accept your offer. His
birthday date:XXX

　　Please accept my deep appreciation⁷ for your very kind assistance to my
application.
