Sri Jayawardenepura VC's thesis on ethics of Sri Lankan academics

I am pleased to inform you that you have been appointed as a Visiting Lecturer to conduct 150 hours of lectures, writes Dr. N.L. Karunaratne to Dr. N.L. Karunaratne.

The sender Dr. N.L. Karunaratne is the Vice-Chancellor of Sri Jayawardenepura University. The recipient Dr. N.L. Karunaratne is also the the Vice-Chancellor of Sri Jayawardenepura University.

Somebody recently told at a training workshop that she sends herself SMS in regard of important matters. I have also sent SMS to myself to document telephone numbers, email addresses etc.

This is not mere letter but a thesis on ethics of Sri Lankan academics. You appoint yourself, you pay yourself and you do whatever you want to the public money in your control. It is bloody normal here, isn't it?
