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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Whitson&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Chris L.
