After the first of the year, we began receiving e-mails from colleges requesting us to send away for their brochures on financial aid, filling out good college applications, etc. They are all pretty much identical, using phrases like "Your accomplishments have caught our attention," "Your dedication," "Your success" etc.
We didn't reply to any of them and now we get e-mails that say things like "I've been trying to get in touch with you," "I want to make sure I have your correct e-mail address," and "I've sent you several e-mails and have received no response."
They're beginning to remind me of the jilted girlfriend in "Fatal Attraction"

I will not be ignored!!!!
These are well respected colleges. Why are they acting like this? It seems a little desperate and unprofessional.
