Turn it in. It reflects more poorly on him than you. You can't help you work for him.

As long as he's not a blood relative, turn it in. If he is, kick him in the nuts, then turn it in.

The former reflects on YOU. The latter reflects on "NOT you". ;)

You can always write it up in a more proper format and have him sign it. Believe it or not I did that once. That was because my boss was too busy to write one so he asked me to write it for him.
You better believe I spread it on thick...:DEunice: A .22? Oh you've gotta be kidding me. That's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
Detective Greenly: Yeah, or bringing a really small gun... to a gunfight.

I would turn it in. However I had a similar problem and I simply wrote the letter myself and had my boss sign it. I kept his pride in tack by telling him that they were looking for specific things so I would write it and if he didn’t agree with something we could edit it.
