If you're thinking of writing an apology letter to a former significant other, you'll probably consider a lot of factors: the amount of time that's passed since the break-up, whether an email or a handwritten note would be better, etc. But perhaps you should also consider whether your ex will send your letter back to you—graded.<\/p>\n\n
That's just what happened to the ex-girlfriend of Nick Lutz, a student at the University of Central Florida. Lutz had "received a hand-written, four-page letter from his ex, who apologized for the mistakes she made in their relationship."<\/p>\n\n
His response? "He marked up her apology letter, gave it a D-, and said he sent it back to her."<\/p>\n\n
Lutz was critical of several aspects of his ex's letter: "He first noted an indention error and criticized the long introduction. Then he scrutinized the body and statements made throughout the letter."<\/p>\n\n
At the letter's conclusion, Lutz wrote his closing thoughts. He "pointed out that his ex had a 'strong hypothesis but nothing to back it up,'" commenting that she must "stop contradicting [her] own story and pick a side."<\/p>\n\n
His tweet about the letter, in which he shared photos of his edits, has received more than 330,000 likes so far.<\/p>\n\n
