The way it works for me (and everyone I work with) is that we do a self-
evaluation, and then it's reviewed by the manager.  This happens with 
ratings (on a 4-point scale IIRC), so there's room for agreement/
disagreement.

I might be inclined to write this as a self-review, even though that's 
not strictly what you were asked for.  That way you can be honest about 
your achievements (though as Darren said, I'd not mention anything 
negative in this circumstance).  Put it in the first person.

Keep a copy of it as written.  Then see how he changes it when he submits 
it.

Part of the issue may be how hands-on (or not) the boss is.  My boss is 
on the other side of the continent, so isn't aware of a lot of the things 
I do from day-to-day, and that makes doing a review of my performance 
very difficult as a result.
