I am extremely handsome, charming and intelligent, and a natural leader.
I thus conform to the stereotype of the Nordic master race of which I am a proud member.

I feel that lying on references is morally unacceptable, so I'd write those non-committal ones you write for ex-employees who were fucking shit, because you know that if you told the actual truth you'd probably end up being sued.
