A Heartfelt F.U. Farewell to Greenberg Traurig LLP (and Biglaw)

This resignation letter has been making the rounds by email. Whaddya think?
The conventional wisdom about farewell emails and resignation letters is to keep them short and sweet. Say as little as possible, and only say positive things, even if untrue (“I greatly enjoyed my time at [Biglaw X]”). Above all, don’t burn any bridges.
But if you’re leaving the legal profession altogether — and you’re really, really sure that you’re never coming back — is it okay to let off some steam? To tell them how you REALLY feel?
Please opine on that question, and anything else you see in this farewell letter, in the comments.
(But please don’t name the individual who sent this letter. We’ve intentionally redacted his name from the missive. Thanks.)

P.S. Speaking of Greenberg Traurig, does anyone know what ever happened on this insane front? Did the firm ever respond? If you can enlighten us, please do so by email. Thanks.
