Anyone know of a good writer or site for such things? |

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........
