Steve Jobs Emails Aspiring Journalist: "Please Leave Us Alone"

The emails are back. Chelsea Kate Isaacs of Long Island University recently emailed Steve Jobs, according to Gawker, to "get a quote from Apple about the use of iPads in academic settings". Isaacs apparently was not expecting a reply, but she got one. After a long thread of emails it ended with a "Please leave us alone." from Steve Jobs.

The first email sent by Isaacs was just this brief paragraph:

Mr. Jobs, I humbly ask why Apple is so wonderfully attentive to the needs of students, whether it be with the latest, greatest invention or the company's helpful customer service line, and yet, ironically, the Media Relations Department fails to answer any of my questions which are, as I have repeatedly told them, essential to my academic performance.

To which Steve Jobs responded:

Our goals do not include helping you get a good grade. Sorry

In my own personal opinion, I believe this long email to be completely fake. And yes, there have been fake emails in the past. Another quote from Steve was "Nope. We have over 300 million users and we can't respond to their requests unless they involve a problem of some kind. Sorry." But Steve responded to the Valleywag emails when it was nothing but a rant from Ryan Tate? Plus -- how I do hate to be judgmental -- but the girl in the photo above appears to be quite the attention seeker.
