we all know about Mr Einstein.
But this letter is a fake, which I fell for.
a) the letter is written in English, Bern is located in Switzerland and Einstein was German,
b) the postal code is wrong: that four digits system wasn't adopted there until the 1960s,
c) there has never been a dean named Wilhelm Heinrich at Bern's University
Thx to Deanter in the comments for reminding me that fun is not reason enough not to check the facts :-)

LOL. Rejection can make some some people look mighty foolish.
Curious why this letter would have been written in English.
Good point, Deanter. I should have made me frown from the start.
Post updated accordingly.
Thank you!
