        Please tell us you are going to reply to him and point out his numerous spelling mistakes, his use of txt speak, his total disregard for commas and periods and being a whinny bitch isn't endearing to anybody.

              Better still, tell him the letter of refusal was sent by mistake and he should have received a job offer, but in light of his email, you have reconsidered and will not be offering the job to him. Am i a little evil?:mad:

                Tell him that here's a template he can use next time:

                Dear *INTERVIEWER*,

                Thank you for your letter of *DATE*. After careful consideration, I
                regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
                a *JOB TITLE* position in your organisation.

                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 *ORGANISATION NAME* 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 *JOB TITLE*
                in your organisation on *DATE*. I look forward to seeing you then.

                Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

                Sincerely,
                *NAME*

                              I did think along those lines myself - hence I won't be replying, I thought I was doing these guys a favour by at least letting them know. I know how demoralising it is to make applications and not even get a reply never mind an interview.

                                  At least he spelled colours right! :)

                                    this guy wants to know why he didn't get an interview:- thx for reply but this is not fair i can assure you i am the best i have done my education in flying colours what is the thing you not calling me for interview. i know you have the right to refuse but i want to know that this was a fair decision. if you requirment is education and skills i will be in the top i have got distinction......if something else which i think........then cant say anything as this world is very unfair i need to know it put your hand on your heart and tell me if this is fair................... How many times did he fail here? I counted at least 23 spelling, grammar and punctuation errors - I'm sure you'll find more. On top of that he's a whiner, how bad can it get? :sigh:

                                    Ask him to write an essay about why he thinks he deserves the interview over the other more qualified candidates. Send it back proofed.

                                      Nah, that was for writing documentation for APIs and he didn't had enough grammatical and spelling mistakes.

                                        So was this a position for a proof reader or a language editor? :rolleyes:

                                          I did think along those lines myself - hence I won't be replying, I thought I was doing these guys a favour by at least letting them know. I know how demoralising it is to make applications and not even get a reply never mind an interview.

                                          "We are currently interviewing the candidates with better experience, education and spelling. If our interviews do not come a positive result, we would be glad to contact you again. Please understand that as of yet we cannot specify a date, as our interview process is very thorough and we still have a few candidates appointed for an interview. Well, 150 of them." :rolleyes:
