The Ultimate Rejection Letter

Today, while editting my previous posts, I came across this blogger named Avi who commented that I'm funny.

Well THANK YOU Avi. My life mission is complete. I can now spontaneously combust into thin air. Not. But seriously, thank you! I'm greatly flattered. See, my head's floating up the ceiling now!

While looking through his blog I came across this post which I found unbearably hilarious.

And I think its just selfish if I didnt share this to the whole world.

I've had my fair share of rejection, and I truly think that the following is what I am about to encompass in my future rejections.

Read and learn, minions!

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
