Hi,
I can't see that I've recieved an answer to this e-mail.
Would it be easier for you, to please send me a copy of my files, if I try to do this, through the student union, which I was a member of, when I studied at the university?
Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
yes, I agree that my tone maybe wasn't fine, but I'm from Norway, so I'm not so into the tone in the UK eighter, and thought he was pulling my leg, since he spoke about high-school grades.
But I apologise for this!
I think this sounds strange, that you don't keep test-results on file, and that you haven't got any files from my other tests in your archives.
Like I wrote as an example, what if an employee in a job-interview wants to know why one didn't have the language-module on the university, since this is normal for study abroad students.
Then one would have wanted a documentation of that one got the best grade, to document this, as to explain why one didn't take the language-module.
I don't buy your explanation, what if I wanted to document why I didn't follow an English-module as a Study Abroad student?
I think you should keep test-results like that, and I think it's strange that you as an academic University don't reason like that yourselves.
Are you sure that you aren't just pulling my leg, (again)?
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Dear Erik
I have been informed that you have been in communication with Les Brown on this matter and he confirms that he has advised you of the following:
"the student (Erik) took a diagnostic test to determine if he needed to do EAP. The diagnostic test determined that he did not need to do it. Since then he has requested a copy of this mark but we have told him that marks from the diagnostic test are not recoded in our systems as this is not a formal University assessment.
After a number of emails I talked to him on the phone and explained the situation. I also asked why he wanted the results and explained to him that if he wanted to prove to employers his level of English he should quote them his results which he obtained from his studies in Norway. I also explained that these results are also used by UK Universities."
Les has also informed me that he has concerns over the tone and language used in you final email response to him which I believe was unnecessary and inappropriate.
I would therefore ask that you accept the information provided as accurate and that we consider the matter closed. We will of course keep all correspondence on file should we need to refer to it in the future
yours sincerely
Sue Reece

Hi,
the reason I'm contacting you is because I'm trying to get hold of test-results, from when I studied at the University of Sunderland, in 2004/05.
There was a test I took, in 2004, to determine, if I needed to take the module 'English for academic purposes'.
They tell me that they haven't kept the test-results.
I got the best grade, so I didn't take this module, (since study-abroad students didn't have to take this module if they got the best grade).
In job-interviews it could be imagined that employers would ask why one didn't take the language-course.
Therefore, I think it's strange that results aren't kept, since people would want to document the reason for why they didn't have to take the language course.
I got a bit upset at Mr. Brown, since he said high school grades in English in Norway should document this, since I think he must have been pulling my leg a bit, since high school level skills in English from Norway, wouldn't be good enough to study at a English university.
I think Mr. Brown should be serious in his work, and don't make up lots of non-sense, so I also wanted to complain about his jokes or non-sense, I think I have to call it.
I also have test-results from a module call E-Commerce, that I would have wanted, but noone can find at the University, unfortunatly.
Hope that you can have a look at this, and perhaps sort some of this up!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I was wondering about the name and e-mail address for the line-manager of Mr. Leslie Brown, at the International Office, please.
I tried to call the Gateway, but you didn't answer, like you didn't on 18/11.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Yours sincerely,
