A letter sent to one student:
 
Dear Henry,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive
the Howard Honorary Scholarship for Academic Excellence, in the
amount of $5000.
 
We hope that this prestigious award will make it possible to attend
and we look forward to seeing you on campus in the fall.

Now a letter sent to ten students:
 
Dear Howard,
 
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted as an
incoming student at our university. You should be hearing from
financial aid very soon.
