Taking a job rejection to the next level

If I ever hated a company enough that rejected me, I'd send this little reply back:

[Today's Date]

Dear Mr/Ms. XXXXX:

Thank you for your letter of March 20. After careful consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment with XXX XXXXXX Ltd.

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 available, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

I certainly appreciate the time, skill and creativity invested in submitting your letter of rejection. Despite your outstanding qualifications and likely having previous experience in rejecting many quality applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time.

Therefore, I will initiate employment with your firm on Monday of the following week. Please arrange the appropriate details with your Human Resources department and Accounting teams. I look forward to being a part of the team. See you then!
Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.

Sincerely,

XXXX XXXXXXX
