Dear sir/madam,

I am writing on behalf of my employer who kindly requests that you cease and desist all acts of self-effacement immediately. It is not necessary.

My employer is fully aware of your talents and their potential to grow exponentially as you yourself grow and develop your own ideas about the world around you. You may be young, you may be inexperienced but that is immaterial so long as you continue to follow your dreams.

In the words of Marianne Wiliamson: “Your playing small does not serve the world.” Let your light shine and make no apologies for it.

In closing my employer hopes that you take some comfort in these words and would be obliged if you would cease sending letters of modesty. It is becoming embarrassing, both for my employer and yourself.

We wish you all the luck and love in the world.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. M. Writer
(Personal Assistant)
