a letter from whom to whom? a company that places faith in a letter
they ask you to write yourself is just poor in my eyes.
me: i need to do so-and-so.
them: and how do we know you're qualified to do that?
me: i have a letter that i wrote to myself that says i am.
them: oh, very well.
sounds...flimsy.
