This message was sent out on May 15th and 16th, 2007 to alert past members to the 2008 party.

Friends, nerds, countrymen,

Greetings from the curators of your embarrassing past! 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Carnegie Mellon's premier organization for those who weren't cool enough for other organizations - KGB. Back in 1988, determined to fill a much-needed void in the campus social scene, several comrades and I co-founded KGB. Two decades later, to our delight and mild confusion, the organization is still alive and flourishing.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're having a party for everyone who's ever been a KGB member. According to various documents, records, drunken party photos, and old Crime and Incident reports, you were once a member of our illustrious organization - and are therefore invited!

The party will be the weekend of April 17-20, 2008 in Pittsburgh during Spring Carnival. The plans are still a little nebulous, so please visit <http://wiki.cmukgb.org/index.php/Anniversary_Party> to keep up with the current state of affairs.

Following the well-known principle that no party is complete without a violation of fire safety laws, we are hoping to invite as many people as possible. For that, however, the Party needs your help. We have an incomplete list of past members and an even less complete list of contact information for them. Please check the list of members at the end of this message. If you notice any missing names, please let us know. If you know how to reach people we haven't found, you can just forward this email to them - that way there won't be any crankiness about giving away their email address.

The fine print:

• It's possible that your shame runs too deep to want to hear from us. If you you'd like to be off this list, just send a quick reply, and your name will be stricken from the records (but not our memories).
• We respect your privacy, even if we don't respect your wardrobe. We won't share your e-mail addresses with anyone without your explicit permission.
• You may have received this message directly, but not be listed as "found". If so, please let us know that this message reached you.
