   Dear [fill in name],

    We sincerely regret to inform you that while you would seem to be a great person, we will be stomping on your dreams and totally crushing all your hopes.  We are sorry to make you abandon all the plans you had previously made for your life, and hope it will not inconvenience you in any way.  

    After a large gap to fill more of the page, we give some non-specific reasons why we have chosen to pound you into the dust.  Our decision concerning you was made not because you are bad at what you do, but that in our opinion there are a great many people who are better.  

    We offer you a hollow preservation of your self esteem by telling you that while we have rejected you totally, perhaps someone else will find something worthwhile.  Please be comforted by the fact that our secretary may have spent up to thirty seconds filling in your name, depending on its length and her skill as a typist.  

               Rubberstamped with my signature,
I got rejected by the college I wanted. Really, really wanted.
So this perhaps contains more bitterness than it should.
Then again, it's a very bitter thing.

I really know the feeling. I just got rejected from three of my top choices.
