First of all, we wish to thank you for choosing the MSc Programme in Computer Science (Full-time) in HKU.
We have now come up with a recommended list of applicants for the University's approval to admit to the 2013-14 academic year. I understand that some applicants who have applied to other institutions may be under some pressure to pay annual tuition fees for registration and so are anxious to learn, as soon as possible, the HKU application outcomes. In view of this, as the Programme Director, I am writing to inform you that you have been recommended for acceptance into our programme.
I wish to advise you, though, that this communication from me as the Programme Director, is not tantamount to an official offer, in the strictest sense, because our recommendation of successful applicants needs to go through a process of formal acceptance by the Faculty Board and verification by the Registry before an official letter can be sent out to you. Meanwhile, I would appreciate if you could let me know by email (to XX) , preferably by February 15, whether you would accept/reject this (unofficial) offer.
Your acceptance to our (unofficial) offer will be acknowledged by email within one week from the above deadline.
