Subject: SIB College Recruiting Update for Jed Bartlet

Dear Jed,

Thank you for submitting your resume to [Shitty I-Bank] for consideration in our college recruiting for the Georgetown Career Fair.

We have determined that there were stellar candidates from the career fair, and we are fortunate to have many qualified students to consider. However, after careful review and consideration, we have determined that the credentials of other candidates may better fit our needs for the 2006 Analyst/Associate program.

At this time, we have made offers to those candidates who will join the firm for the Summer 2006 Associate/Analyst program.

Please accept our best wishes for the rest of the school year and thank you for your interest in [Shitty I-Bank].

Robin Williams,
Director, Recruiting & Employment

Robin,

Thank you for your timely response to our meeting at the Georgetown Career Fair. It is unfortunate that my credentials were not more suited to the needs of [Shitty I-Bank]. Out of all the firms to whom I gave my resume at the Career Fair, [SIB] is the only one to actually take the time to let me know that they will not be extending me an offer. I imagine this may be because, having already accepted an offer, I did not actually apply to any of those firms. I am extremely flattered that you deemed me worthy enough based on our initial meeting to bypass the standard application and interview process before rendering a final decision. Unfortunately though, I must reject your rejection based on the fact that I never actually solicited employment from your firm. Accept my best wishes for the rest of the fiscal year and please do consider any revisions to your recruiting practices implied in this e-mail.

Regards,
Jed Bartlet
