Facebook sickie email 'completely untrue'

KYLE Doyle - who bragged on Facebook about taking a sickie and was busted by the boss - is "a clever kid who just gets into mischief".

That's the status update from the mother of the 21-year-old at the centre of Sydney's favourite email saga.

She says her son, an AAPT "resolutions expert - technical", never took a day off. She says he cooked up the now world-famous email exchange where he gets busted for a fake sickie - for a joke.

"It's completely untrue," Mr Doyle's mother, who asked not to be named, said from at her home on Sydney's outskirts. "He's a clever kid who just gets into mischief."

Mr Doyle entered a storm of publicity this week when the apparently real email exchange with his boss spread across the web like wildfire.

In it, Mr Doyle refuses to give a medical certificate for taking a day off until his boss confronts him with his Facebook update declaring he is "not going to work, f... it i'm still trashed. SICKIE WOO!"

Mr Doyle then concedes after his boss "finds out": "HAHAHA LMAO epic fail. No worries man". LMAO is understood to be internet-speak for "Laughing my arse off".

Yesterday, as AAPT issued a statement denying the exchange took place, Mr Doyle's mum said she was upset by the portrayal of her son - which went against his family "ethics" - saying: "You don't steal from your company."

She said her son, whose Facebook lists his political views as "Liberal Party of Australia", had not missed a day off work throughout the saga.
