When are Likely Letters sent out?

Does anyone know when (or even if) U Penn is sending out Likely Letters?

I think I remember a thread from a couple of years back, when a kid talked about getting a likely letter. I might be wrong though

I just got a likely letter a few days ago... I'm not an athlete, though, so I thought that was kind of odd. I'm not complaining, though!

Could someone possibly transcribe the likely letter to this post? What does one consist of?

Here is how it started out

"I am pleased to inform you that the committee has designated you as a likely candidate for admission to Penn's class of 2012. In recent years, approximately 98% of applicants receiving a likely evaluation were ultimately admitted. We expect......that we will confirm this interim notification later this month."

My s is a sophmore at Penn -Engineering School. He did not get a likely letter, had to wait to log onto the website. Don't worry if you didn't get one. Penn was his 1st choice school, he had a 2110 SAT,
SAT II MATHII-800, SATII PHYSICS-800,
TOP 5% of his class,
white/male/catholic from NJ.
