Christopher Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 http://emailsfromcrazypeople.com/page/7/This sight is open for people to post emails or letter they received from others that are simply outrageous. Hey, what can you do when a crazy person writes you except laugh?... I hope. The following email is a teacher's letter written to the parents of a student.Email:... ok, I previewed the post and found my picture attachment didn't work (don't know why), so here it is typed out:Dear Mrs. XXXX:You may already know this, but in case Alex has neglected to tell you, I am assigning him to detention for one hour this Friday, April 22. The reason is as follows:Alex consistently defied me. During class he contradicted me numerous times when I insisted that the length of one kilometer was greater than that of one mile. Every other student in class accepted my lesson without argument, but your son refused to believe what I told him, offering such rebuttals as, "You're lying to the class," and commanding other students to challenge my curriculum.Although he was correct, Alex's actions show a blatant disregard for authority, and a complete lack of respect for his school. In the future, Alex would be better off simply accepting my teachings without resistance.Please see to it that your son understands this.Regards,Adam Hilliker Yikes!

Reidy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Snopes has its doubts about this:http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/hilliker.aspThey call attention to the quotation marks; starting/ending quotes were rare on manual typewriters, a fact which puts this into the tradition of the Bush/Rather memos.

Chris Grieb Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It is worth remembering that people sometimes make things up. If something seems to good to be true it usually isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The letter is obviously contrived, even without the Adolf Hitler allusion.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
