Once upon a time, before a bank called Lehman Brothers collapsed plunging the world into financial crisis, wannabe lawyers may have been able to get away with penning xenophobic letters to their minimum wage employers telling them to stick their jobs because they’re off to law school. These days, though, such behaviour would seem to be rather tempting fate…

Nevertheless, the current oversupply of lawyers – which is even worse in the US than in the UK – hasn’t stopped one prospective lawyer penning exactly the sort of letter detailed above to his dear old bosses at Burger King.

The letter, which appeared on Passive Aggressive Notes earlier this week, is below.
