<p>Dear <span style="color: #ff6600;">Harry</span>, { <span style="color: #ff0000;">This name is currently unattested in the 21<sup>st</sup> century and should be understood allegorically with reference to the recipient’s hair length</span>}</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I <span style="color: #ff6600;">regret</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">inconsistent with the narratorial voice, this was added by the 2<sup>nd</sup> redactor</span>} that we <span style="color: #ff00ff;">can</span>not {<span style="color: #ff0000;">polite addition by 2<sup>nd</sup> redactor</span>} grant your requested extension {<span style="color: #ff0000;">21<sup>st</sup>-century writers applied “extension” to added fake hair, obviously the original subject of this correspondence</span>}. <span style="color: #800000;">You should be aware</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">3<sup>rd</sup> redactional layer</span>} that you should <span style="color: #0000ff;">apply</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">allusion to a hair-cutting appliance</span>} for extensions before the <span style="color: #ff6600;">dead</span>line {<span style="color: #ff0000;">note etymological root “dead,” subtly threatening penalties if hair is not cut</span>}, as <span style="color: #800000;">clearly</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">3<sup>rd</sup> redactor, wrongly thinking hair <em>color</em> at issue</span>} specified both <span style="color: #ff00ff;">in</span> the syllabus and <span style="color: #ff00ff;">in</span> the student handbook {<span style="color: #ff0000;">2<sup>nd</sup> redactor; no <em>original</em> author would include <em>two</em> prepositional phrases</span>}. If I may step aside from the usual professional language for a moment, applying for an extension six weeks after the close of the semester is irresponsible behavior characteristic only of <span style="color: #ff00ff;">immature, preadolescent</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">2<sup>nd</sup> redactor, who thinks the recipient too young to grow hair</span>}, whining brats. Are you aware that <span style="color: #993300;">our institution</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">3<sup>rd</sup> redactor envisions here a barbershop</span>} provides basic counseling services at no cost to the student? I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity, and also, if your counselor so advises, to check yourself into a <span style="color: #993300;">psychiatric institution</span>. {<span style="color: #ff0000;">3<sup>rd</sup> redactor, wrongly thinking barber scissors cause brain damage</span>}</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Your <span style="color: #993300;">Advisor</span> {<span style="color: #ff0000;">3<sup>rd</sup> redactor, alluding to helmet visors, which can prevent brain damage</span>}</p>
