Frank Uncovers Excellence in Leadership

Thank you for your letter rejecting my application for employment with your firm.

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Dear …,

Thank you for your letter rejecting my application for employment with your firm.

I have received rejections from an unusually large number of well qualified organizations. With such a varied and promising spectrum of rejections from which to select, it is impossible for me to consider them all. After careful deliberation, then, and because a number of firms have found me more unsuitable, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection.

Despite your company’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my requirements at this time. As a result, I will be starting employment with your firm on the first of the month.

Circumstances change and one can never know when new demands for rejection arise. Accordingly, I will keep your letter on file in case my requirements for rejection change.

Please do not regard this letter as a criticism of your qualifications in attempting to refuse me employment. I wish you the best of luck in rejecting future candidates.

Sincerely,
….

Does anyone know the original author?

    Oh my God, this is perfect!

    As a Third World national living in a First World country remarkably inhospitable to non-affluent foreigners (Switzerland), I have had my fair share of trouble finding a job. Rejection letters are something that I receive on a weekly basis, and, although I have learnt to take rejection, they definitely do nothing to bolster my self-esteem.

    I swear, if I have the guts for it, I will copy and paste that letter you posted next time I receive a rejection letters - for all I know, it might impress their HR department enough to actually offer me a job! At least it will make me stand out…

    Cheers,
    George
