Sometimes we get forwarded applications for summer internships on Wall Street that are extremely embarrassing because the applicant is totally full of themselves or completely clueless.
What happens is the letters go viral and the Street passes them around in long email chains blasting the applicant. They're always funny, but a little bit sad.

Just forwarded this to my ex's 16 year old.

Just what we need, another investment banker. Maybe if that doesn't pan out he can go into politics.

Its remarkable how overwhelmed the Wall Street guys were by "honesty". Well, actually not remarkable at all.
