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 UIUC'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,

(your name here)
