I would add toward the end "Consider this my two week notice"
I've already been told by them when my last day is. They're allowing me to finish out a certain amount of weeks.
Honestly, there's another less demanding position I'd rather have within the company, so if I can have that, it would be nice. I hope I'm not blackballed in the whole industry! But my parent says so what. But again, others have actually sued my company & won & they go on to get other jobs. So you may ask then why would I want to work for a company like that? Well, since I'm new in this field, I want to work long enough to graduate from grad school & get some GOOD experience. Then, after some years, I can pretty much write my own ticket. Fortunately, I'm in a high demand field.

Unless I missed it, that should have been included somewhere when you were telling us this. That changes things completely.
Corporate world is not a kindergarten. Getting your parents involved and bypassing your manager and claiming innocence and blaiming others for your shortcomings....
Writing a letter like that says a lot about you...in a not so good way.
I am not sure this is a corporate world situation....
Is this a school district or university job? The situation you are describing with university mentors (major advisors?) who have apparently nothing to do with your job, but are responsible for your ability to do your job? Getting no evaluations for an entire year on the job? Just seems an odd situation. Perhaps you would be better off finding and RA/TA position and getting your tuition reduced and a stipend?
My parent actually sent the letter to his/her ex-boss (the big boss). Like I said before, "this was my parent's suggestion to do & I agreed that it couldn't hurt to try." I guess that's pretty ballsy of us!
I don't want to say too much, but no, this is not a corporate setting. I WISH I could get a lower tuition & stipend!
Personally, I think the letter is horribly written. It has grammatical errors, rambles, and contains one excuse after another. Nowhere in there
indicates any self-awareness or acceptance of personal responsibilities.
Well, I'm trying to fight this because I was NEVER evalulated like I was supposed to during my 2nd year on the job.
You should be receiving annual performance evaluations and if not you should mention it. I think it might be a lost cause though. It sounds like the decision has been made already.
