To be perfectly honest, he's not EVEN writing the brother the letter. All the advisor is doing is making changes so he doesn't sound bad and then signing his name. The brother was probably offended that his advisor wouldn't take the time to write him a letter for law school. Even though the letters might no have much weight, it is still important. I am going through the law school admissions process now. I asked someone to write me a letter and they did the same thing. I was like screw it! I'll ask someone else who wants to take the time and care about my future to write my letter. If you didn't want to ACTUALLY WRITE THE LETTER or know the person well enough to write the letter, you should have said NO!!!!!!!
Obviously this person thought highly enough of you to ask for a letter! No would have been a better answer. I asked a congressman friend of my family's to write me a letter. He took the time to call me and talk to me about it and then wrote the letter (which was awesome) personalized to me. None of my professors asked me to write something first. I know they get bombarded with requests but, THEIR JOB doesn't end with the final grade at the end of the semester.
As we all know, it is a nerve wracking time trying to figure out what to do with our futures. I am in the real world and it is tough, so help the kid get on his feet.
Ok, that was somewhat touchy for me. So I said my piece and I am done. Sorry if I offended anyone!
