 I'm not sure if it is or not I just managed to stumble upon it one day and 
 found it hilarious


This cannot be a joke, the facts are real :

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker
operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos
Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a
program called xenix, which was written by Microsoft for the US
government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other
people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be
used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the
mp3 program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing
many hacker programs, such as telnet, which is used by hackers to
connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.

GMail does that for me automatically, but it would be fairly pointless to
send an infected PDF to a mailing list full of Linux folks. There's no way
even to tell what app we'll be reading it with.

That letter is one of the effects of the economic downturn. They pretend they 
have sent a letter to the wrong place, in the hope that someone will read it 
and give them a job.
 
So please let's not make fun of it. That person deserves our respect and 
sympathetic silence.

i have a hard time to believe taht -- to me it looks like the very old  
scam, pretendeing to have sent the mail by mistake to the wrong address,  
making people curious and thus either plant a virus or try to sell the  
usual stuff from little helpers to big drugs ...
that's how the other spmas work, too -- and it doesn't matter if it  
happens to land on a linux geek list or a list of grannies exchanging  
voodoo tipps, one in a billion will do what they hope for and that's  
enough of roi.

Seems like a nice recommendation letter, just a couple of observations:

1) Letter of recommendation is an official document and thus contracted
forms are not advisable. what's = what is
2) Isn't two-week trip supposed to be without the dash?
3) Sincerely and your contacts should be aligned to left as all the
rest of the text.

Other then that it looks fine. I might be mistaken about the second
point, English is not my first language.

Best of luck to you for your next writing task and I can assure you
that we all hope that Jodie will get the job! I hope we can read your
next piece of writing soon.

Thanks and regards,
Yogiz
