Rejected!

I'm accumulating a nice collection of rejection letters. One is short enough to reproduce in its entirety:

Thank you for your interest in [firm name redacted]. We regret that we are unable to offer you a position due to the limited number of clerkships we are able to offer. I wish you every success.

I admire the writer's refusal to pad it out with boilerplate courtesies, notwithstanding the "I wish you every success."

I still have applications outstanding with two firms, but I know they've already hired some of my classmates.
