Taken from http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/20SgSP/ww ... n_let.htmlDear Hiring Manager,
Thank you for your letter of March 1. 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.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Interviewee
Might be funny to try, if you weren't planning on waiting another cycle. Maybe if a spot opened up, or whatever, they would remember you. For better? or for worse.
