 Thank for your leter of March 16. 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.

 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 Whitson'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.

 Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

 Sincerely,
 Chris L. Jensen
