The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer or
publisher, just send them the following:
Dear [name of the person who signed the rejection letter],
Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After careful
consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to
offer me [employment with your firm/a contract to publish my book]. 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 [name of the co or agency that sent you this letter]’s outstanding
qualifications and previous experience in rejecting[applicants/manuscripts], I
find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I
will initiate [employment/publishing] with your firm immediately following
[graduation/job change, etc. -- get creative here]. I look forward to working
with you.
Best of luck in rejecting future [candidates/manuscripts].
Sincerely,
[your name]
