The memo states that Grover is a Level II CFA and that such an honor is bestowed upon the brightest and smartest professionals in the financial services field. He is now a Level III candidate as a result of passing the difficult exam.

C. Since Grover's boss is writing the memo, Grover can deny any responsibility for the memo.
