I cannot tell a lie!

I did find it on snopes here, which it claims it is : Undetermined

The evidence does seem stacked against it though.

Is this image a scan of a real letter? Many readers have seized on small details to declare it phony (e.g., the similarity of the names "Adam Hilliker" and "Adolf Hitler" combined with a letter dated on Hitler's birthday; the supposedly too-early appearance of smart quotes in a letter dating from 1994, the seeming lack of distortion in wrinkled portions of the page). All we know all this point is that the image was posted on the Internet back in May 2006 by someone who claimed it was a letter from his math teacher.
