My awkward ethical dilemma
The headmaster of my school is a real jerk. Writing these words is certainly awkward, but if I don't, I don't know how I can get into any college, yours included. You see, he writes really really crazy recommendation letters. The one you've received about me, for example.
Dr. Slattery (that's his name) brings up all kinds of difficulties that I've had to overcome in my life. Like drugs, alcohol and compulsive stealing. This is supposed to make you think that I have come down a long and hard road to get where I am today. But the thing is, he says this stuff about all the students. He doesn't even know which ones did the drugs, or the alcohol or what. We didn't ALL do all of it, you know!
Not only that, but Slattery also thinks that if he keeps calling up the admissions officers at the colleges and gets really pushy, that they'll accept his students. Maybe it works sometimes, but it sure didn't help Florence Foderer get into Swarthmore after Slattery called the head of admissions an asshole and asked him if he was an idiot.
So please ignore Slattery's letter and just look at my other recommendations and my grades. Then you can make the smart and right decision. I, for one, am confident and respectful that you're neither an idiot nor an asshole.
