Your Reputation is All You Have

Three years ago I started a summer internship program to recruit and mentor top juniors, seniors and recent undergraduate graduates from around the globe. The results have been phenomenal, both from a personal as well as a professional perspective (not to mention the CSR optics).
Every once in a while, certain unexpected issues arise whereby a dosage of tough love is prescribed. The following is an example (names of the companies and individuals have been annonymized).

Dear X,
It has come to my attention that you have decided to travel for the summer instead of honoring your commitment to Hold Co, Level 1 Co, Level 2 Co and most recently International Consulting Firm.
There has been a lot of effort, financial and most importantly political capital spent to accommodate you this summer and create a memorable experience for you and your colleagues. For each intern accepted, we have rejected ten. With your unscheduled departure, you are also taking away a valuable opportunity from someone else that could have benefited.
In paramount, your abrupt departure casts a long shadow on your professionalism and reputation. More so, it also affects your colleagues and this firm negatively. This is especially true in our region, since it is a small market.
In business, as in life, the only thing that is truly important is your reputation. By just leaving without informing us or International Consulting Firmin a professional and timely manner you have laid waste to your reputation, especially during this pivotal moment as you take the first steps in your career.
You have embarrassed Hold Co, Level 1 Company, and most importantly, you have embarrassed yourself.
In an attempt to save whatever is left of your reputation, it is in your best interest to provide seven letters of apology to:
1) International Consulting Firm
2) Hold Co
3) Level 1 Company
4) Level 2 Interns
5) Internship organizing team
6) Your fellow interns
7) Yourself in the future (30 years from now)
I suggest that each letter be personalized, specific, professional and phenomenological.
I hope that you will in the future look back at this moment with abject humility and careful consideration.
Sincerely,
MMR
