A Reject Letter

Human Resources Department
ABC Widgit Company
Doodleville, MN 56743


September 15, 2012

Dear Personnel Manager:

Thank you for your letter of September 12th. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an technical writing position in your company.

Since my recent graduation, 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 ABC Widgit'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 technical writer at your company in October. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Joel A. Wells
