The letter from Roger Steinbeck. What is everyone's take on it? Seems kinda weird to be a complete fake. If you are going to fake a reference letter, why talk about working for rent. Why not just say she worked for me and was a good employee.
On the other hand, it says from high school until July of 1988. Well, she wasn't Lori Kennedy until July 5th of 1988. Just so strange. Was she trying to serve two purposes, a reference letter for employment and rental, but then why not just fake two letters. Could it be as simple as she had one piece of Oriental Stationary and thought the letters would look more real on it? We are dealing with a person that wasn't stable, so things that don't make sense to us might have made perfect sense to her. Also, based on her signature as Lori Ruff, it doesn't appear she signed Roger Steinbeck.
The only thing that would truly answer the question (for me at least) is what type of stationery it was written/typed on. She seemed to have different handwriting styles and only a true analyst could tell if it were the same person who wrote both signatures. I would say that the (R) in "Roger Steinbeck" signature looks completely different than the one in "Lori Ruff". However Both (R's) seem to have one fluid movement with a line going down, back up around and then curving to a straight. Even if it's a fake, it's a real well thought out fake.

I say it's a fake all around for the following reasons;
1) 1988 or after is when the recommendation letter was written (according to the Logo Header) even though it hadn't an actual date.
a) because The Mandarin would keep stationery current.
b)because 1988 is when she legally became Lori Kennedy.
2) IF she had worked for a RS "for years" during that time it would have been under the name BST or her REAL name. She was BST for awhile, up until July of 88'.
