The Ultimate Rejection Letter

The Ultimate Rejection Letter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Herbert Millington

Chair - Search Committee
Whitson University
College Hill, MA

Dear Professor Millington,


Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.


This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.


Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.


Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.


Sincerely,

Chris L. Jensen
