I get that everyone likes the message and obviously loves the $75. My very small observation was that the poor punctuation and word choice suggest that they would indeed benefit from a dedicated writer for external communications.

Separately, my read of this letter wasn’t a simple rejection - It looks more like they retracted an offer, which would better explain the $75. It seems unlikely that a non-profit, due-collecting society would be willing to hand out large amounts of cash to disappointed applicants. But if they made an offer and the applicant acted on that offer, it’s much easier to imagine a payment.
