I like sending these to companies I applied with that seem interested but about which I discovered something God-awful. "Unfortunately, after careful consideration I have decided not to move forward with my candidacy, but I wish you the very best of luck in your search to fill the role" and that. It's a little passive-aggressive, but it makes me feel good and shows them about as much good will as they would show me.


That doesn't strike me as passive aggressive at all. It seems like a general rejection but what else could you say?


It's done in the same corporate bullshit, faux-charitable language corporate HR uses for its rejection letters.
