Hey everyone/anyone,

I'm looking for some input on getting an LOR from my current employer which I have worked for about 8 years... Let me put it this way, he is a very intelligent businessman (worth millions) but he absolutely sucks at spelling not to mention grammar. I refuse to write my own letter and have him sign it, just doesn't feel right. Not sure what to do....He offered me his position when he retires as CEO of a water damage company that brings in around $5M in revenue per year. I would probably make the same (or more) as I would being a dentist, but my heart is not in it. I think that fact might help me in the admin process. What do you think?

Any suggestions???

It sounds like that is the only way if you want to get a letter from him. I wouldn't ask for a letter from someone that had spelling and grammar issues.

it's all yours...that is if you can can deal with living in sunny southern california. you gave me a good idea, maybe i can have someone who is proficient in grammar and such help him out, that way I won't feel like I am writing my own LOR.

hehehe, J/K... have no desire at all to live in SC. But seriously, have someone help him... Or just be in the same area, and when hes done, get on the computer and fix all the grammar and spelling mistakes yourself. Then print it out, and have him sign it. You should be straight!
