After careful consideration, I regret to
inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me a 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 your companies' 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 in your
department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
