I agree with some others that the letter didn't particularly wow me in terms of humor, creativity or blunt honesty. I'd probably want to talk to him (despite his use and misspelling of the word "crapp" in a business letter) because he sounds like a good intern candidate, but the statements in the emails that the letter was "amazing" or "the best cover letter I've ever received" just tells me they're used to really boring, canned letters.
Agreed. I also think that maybe they liked it because he already knows what he's getting into and is fine with it. He's not deluded with ideas of solving a million dollar problem or becoming an intern superstar, he's humble and ready to learn from the pros.

"Crapp" seemed like a link to a url, so maybe that's why?
