Make Me Laugh Monday: The Ultimate Rejection Letter

If I ever get a rejection letter (like the one I’m about to get from Campus Progress), I am so going to send them back something like this:

Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA  34109

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

    I might create a rejection situation just so I can use this letter!

    that is too funny…
    wouldn’t it be interesting if a company received that and reconsidered an employee based on that type of a response? that would take guts and show humor…
