Well, I've given my professor a fake doctors note that excused me from turning in my mid-term, providing me with an extension on the paper.

I'm terribly nervous about how it's going to work out, however. If my professor attempts to verify the note, I need to make sure I have all the bases covered completely. This was a costly expenditure for me, as I've done the following:

- Downloaded "professional" fake doctors note templates, making sure to edit the logos with Photoshop to represent an actual existing medical practice.
- Printed the document on high quality paper and used a paper cutter to make sure it was perfected in size.
- Set-up a Skype online phone account, so if my professor calls the number on the note, he'll be forwarded to the voice-mail.
- The voice-mail is set-up with text-to-speech with dialogue that would reflect a "real" doctors office voice-mail.
- In the option that my professor does leave a voice message asking for confirmation of the visit, I have natural sounding text-to-speech software that would provide a short and concise confirmation which I would in return make sure to leave on his voice-mail.

I've avoided using a real doctor's name to avoid legal repercussions (forgery).

Is there anything I'm missing? For example, assume you were a college professor. If one of your students misses his mid-term due date and provides you with a doctors note that appears perfectly legitimate, would you look further into it? If so, would what I've done convince you of its legitimacy?
