Letting someone other than a ghostwriter or a reviewer do it for you will be self-defeating. An unethical deal here will corrupt you, the project, and your employer. You must finish the job in a straightforward accountable manner. http://tc.eserver.org/23226.html http://tc.eserver.org/23226.html This is a working draft of the code of ethics of the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing.
