non-rejection rejection letter

[hiremeplease]

Perhaps others will find the following PFO from Bard amusing, because it doesn't actually say that I've been rejected. I suppose it is the nicest rejection letter that I've gotten!

Here it is:

Yeah, I got that one today too. I was especially pleased with the exclamation point in the subject line. I feel like I may have just one a million dollars in the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Woohoo!
