Welcome to my world....
At least I never was asked to write my own review like this.

Take it as an opportunity to put all of your achievements in writing in 
front of him.  For good measure you do need to list some shortcomings so 
that it will be taken seriously.

While you can't be stupid in putting it together, you can turn this 
around to be something that might get you more on the good with the manager.


Best luck


Tom
