Email is a scam

[leftyjew]

Okay, evidence that it's a scam:

1. Letter is copyright Dean for Americans, not Dean for America
2. The ad on the website for the internship program is exaclty the same, but without the first two incriminating paragraphs (the two that I included).
3. There's an note on the ad on the website that says "Interns will be notified by December 31 and internships will begin in January 2004," but the email says "Interns will be notified by February 5th, 2004 and internships will begin in March 1, 2004." March 1 is a) a really strange time to start an internship, and b) really late in the election season to snag these interns.
4. The email asks for a "1000+ word essay" and two letters of rec, while the ad only asks for a simple cover letter and one rec letter. What recruiter would want to read through a few thousand "1000+ word essays???"
5. The website advertizes unpaid internships and the email, paid ones. Why would he pay anyone for work he could get for free?

My conclusion: email is a scam.
