For starters, I'd recommend a former employer who liked you.

Yeah, it kind of is, isn't it?

On a more constructive note, how about trying one of those fake degree/diploma mills in Thailand. They can probably come up with some fake recommendation letters.

A previous co-worker of mine typed up her own glowing recommendation letter,
then used the school's official stamp on it while no one was looking.

My employer does like me, that's the point. They want me to write the letter myself and they'll sign it. I just don't want to be too glowing in praise and rhetoric. Resumes I can do fine, but recommendation letters? That's a different art.

Ain't no such thing.........sing and let your brillance shine. A good chance to be poetic and use such phrases as "beyond the call of duty" , "exemplary behaviour", "a disciplined, organized and outstanding work ethic". ......................... or if you wish, "he could teach a monkey how to speak English."

Go for it! Please post here and we can add, cut, paste........
