A rather amusing email exchange

A rather amusing email exchange (not mine, unfortunately)


From: xxxxxx@xxxx.com
To: yyyyyyy@yyyy.com
Subject: Refusal to offer employment

I have not heard back from you after our meeting of Nov 15.
After careful consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment with your firm. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of corporate candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals for employment.

Despite your company’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that you rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I will initiate employment with your firm immediately. I look forward to seeing you then. Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.

And the reply:

Subject: Re: Refusal to offer employment

I regret to inform you that you candidacy has been aceepted. We had hoped that we could have provided you with a glowing letter of rejection, but your demostrated inability to meet our rejection policy requirments have forced to write this letter of offer.

I would like to schedule a telephone conferance between yourself, Al and I to dicuss the terms of this unfortunate incident with the hopes of finding a suitable resolution for all parties.

People like this, with voices like these, should be cherished. And hired.
