I'd like to share with Forum members a letter sent over to me by a friend, the award-winning writer Ed Maranan:
LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
1 Trevor Adams, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2 hard at work in his cubicle. Trevor works independently, without
3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Trevor never
4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7 breaks. Trevor is that very rare individual who has absolutely no
8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and has a profound
9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Trevor can be
10 classed as a high-caliber employee, the type that cannot be
11 dispensed with. Consequently, I truly recommend that Trevor be
12 promoted to upper-level management, and a proposal will be
13 executed as soon as possible, to give him the justice he deserves.
Addendum:
The idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote this report.
Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.
