I like this but I wouldn't recommend actually doing it unless you know exactly what sort of situation you're writing into (or if you're at the end of your tether). You never know if you'll run into these people again, especially in an academic setting.

I think he would be a perfect fit for the University I work at :) We all have a pretty good sense of humor.

Follow-through is everything. Let's see him show up in August and ask where his office is.
