In the Netherlands they have a robot that automatically generates such verbiage: http://bullshit.takovermeulen.eu <http://bullshit.takovermeulen.eu/>
Saved me a lot of time when I had to do my annual self-evaluation.

Best regards,

>> 
>>   
>> You’re receiving this email because you
>> attended one of the taxonomy decadal plan sector-stakeholder
>> engagement meetings late last year, or have expressed
>> interest in the decadal plan and requested
>> updates. 
>> 
>>   
>> The
>> plan was officially launched at Parliament House Canberra
>> last Friday morning (27 April), with around 60 attendees. I
>> believe there is a strong sense by those who attended the
>> launch that this was a milestone for
>> our community.  
>> 
>>   
>> The
>> launch generated substantial media interest, including radio
>> and newspaper pieces both locally in Australia and New
>> Zealand, and internationally. The social media reach has
>> also been impressive – the Academy has an
>> extremely good social media presence, as have many of our
>> institutions. The attention generated shows that our
>> discipline – taxonomy and biosystematics –
>> resonates with and greatly interests the public. We need to
>> work with this, and build more exposure, in
>> the coming years. 
>> 
>>   
>> At the
>> launch I thanked all who have been involved in this project,
>> including the Advisory Committee, Working Group, and the
>> more than 400 people who provided suggestions, advice and
>> guidance at the sector-stakeholder
>> meetings, through the noto|biotica blog, on the exposure

>> Please read it, pass it to colleagues and contacts in

>> implement its strategic actions.
>> 
>> 
>>   
>> Finally, while the launch of the plan is a
>> milestone, what this really means is that while we now have
>> a mile behind us, we have another in front. Substantial
>> further work is required (and planned) in the next few years
