Inceptrejection

To: Martin Andrews.

Re: Your rejection of our rejection letter.

I received your email wherein you claimed you were unable to accept our rejection of your job application and thus ‘would report on Monday to take up your post’.

I remember first reading this idea 25 years ago, on a thrice photocopied letter stuck in the coffee room of my apprenticeship. Thus, you are either wildly unoriginal or devoid of imagination, and thus unsuited to this company.

Or, perhaps, you thought it proved you were ‘proactive’ and thought it would work.

Not as long as I own this company, sonny.
