In case you need an extension for the C-exam :-)

• A letter requesting extension This document is in MS word format so that just the pain of opening it using a windows machine (or installing antiword) should be motivation enough to not postpone the exam but study harder to stay within deadlines. All names used in this letter are purely coincidental and bear no resemblance to any person alive. (well if he is dead we really don't care, do we ? :-))
