Thursday Thirteen (20th)

Mr. Hinklemeyer came in Sandy's office as she was writing his letter of recommendation. He asked if he could view the letter. He was in the process of reading the letter when Sandy's secretary walked in asking for the letter. Mr. Hinklemeyer finished reading it and handed the secretary the letter.

The numbers on the document are added for the purposes of Thursday Thirteen. They did not appear on the original letter.

Letter of Recommendation

1. While working with Mr. Hinklemeyer, I have always found him
2. working studiously and sincerely at his desk without
3. gossiping with colleagues in the office. He seldom
4. wastes his time on useless things. Given a job, he always
5. finishes the given assignment in time. He is always
6. deeply engrossed in his official work, and can never be
7. found chitchatting at the water cooler. He has absolutely no
8. vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9. knowledge of his field. I think he can easily be
10. classed as outstanding, and should on no account be
11. dispensed with. I strongly feel that Mr. Hinklemeyer should be
12. promoted as soon as possible, and this proposal should be
13. sent away as soon as possible.

Sandy O’Keefe
Branch Manager.

Sandy buzzed the secretary with an urgent message to be immediately sent upstairs.

John,
Mr. Hinklemeyer was present when I was writing the recommendation that was sent to you today. Kindly read only the alternative lines 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, for my true assessment of him.
Thanks,
Sandy
