<p>Apparently, it went viral because people do share these sorts of things- and it reached the news. I wouldn’t be so quick to assume it got leaked becasue it is superior. In fact, there is mention that lesser letters also circulate because they are “amusing.” We’re just seeing one example and making something more out of it than any facts yet deserve. </p>
<p>And, if the kid does get the job (or another,) remember, he’s already got some internship experience- likely in CA, just as likely it was with a small ML branch- but that changes this, for me.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have to wonder about this: if the kid were so special that the original firm wanted him, why did the letter get out into the public? Wouldn’t the original firm have kept it internal?</p>
<p>You know the phrase-- “Life should be that easy.”</p>
