Herbert A. Millington Chair - Search Committee 412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University College Hill, MA 34109
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter 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
If it was real, it would be fun to know the reply.

Each person finds their own way to deal with rejection.
Instead of becoming depressed or angry, he decided to take it in stride and make a joke out of it. This letter is obviously very sarcastic, and it is mocking the act of rejection committed by the employer. I found it hilarious, and as you stated, the response to this letter would probably be equally amusing.
That's a pretty good way to get back at someone who rejected you. Would be funny if he actually showed up at his job that August to see the reaction of everyone.
