Recommendation letter?

Question

Reference letter for Bob Smith, sent to the HR dept of the new company he has applied for:

To Whom it may concern:

1. Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2. hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
3. wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
4. thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5. finishes given assignments on time. Often, Bob takes extended
6. measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7. breaks. Bob is an individual who has absolutely no
8. vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9. knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
10. classified as a high-caliber employee, the type that cannot be
11. dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
12. promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13. executed as soon as possible.

Regards,
Project Leader

KEEP READING…

Shortly thereafter, the HR department received the following memo from the Project Leader:
Sorry, but that idiot was reading over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly read only the even
numbered lines for my assessment.
Regards,
Project Leader

sorry, that's ODD numbered....

Answer 1

Pretty hilarious letter and thanks for sharing. At the risk of overkill, I'll add that it's obviously a letter of recommendation if read in its entirety; of non-recommendation if only the odd numbered lines are read. Pretty ingenious, but what's your question?
