Cut the girl some slack?
No, I don't think so. NPD sounds about right to me. Actual introspection and growth is very difficult for narcissists, and I don't get a hint that she's up for trying it.
Also, is english her second language? If not, then she really is a mess - she seems utterly unable to infuse her words with any emotion at all, her letter was astonishingly cold. (And astonishingly full of crap.) People I've met like this are sort of like aliens trying to figure out human emotion using a method similar to how physicists figure out nuclear structures - smash them to bits and see what the debris is like.
I hope the poor guy finds himself alone soon. He may be able to grow from this experience, I don't know if she will. The previous poster who predicted she'd put the next guy on the same treadmill probably had it right. She'd do better to find another narcissist, some prettyboy who's full of himself, and they can dramatically cheat on each other for a while
