The Ultimate Rejection Letter
lol!
"hahahaha...question is though: Did it work?"
Heheheh - I think a less favourable interpretation would be that it's midly passive-aggressive, so I'm not sure they'd make an effective worker. I think they would be a great beer-buddy though!
On that note - there is a site here: http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/
Somewhere on the site (I forget how to get there), there's a slideshow where you can just read through all the passive-aggressive notes that people have sent in. Some of them are truly hilarious!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's Gold! I'm going to copy and paste that, switch up some names and words then it's time to email a couple dozen people.
i don't really see that as passive-aggressiveness. i see it as having a healthy sense of humor. but i suppose it really depends on the tone.
as for that website, the funniest one i saw was the "statement of silent treatment" or whatever it was, where the lady wrote that she was officially not speaking to the other lady. that was hilarious. i liked what they did with the corrections, although that was w-a-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y more passive-aggressive than the original letter. the woman who submitted it sounds like a biotch. i prly wouldn't speak to her either.

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
