Dear Jerry:

Unfortunately, we have given the job for which you applied to another candidate. Frankly speaking, he was a better fit than you were for the job. We are not sure whether you are interested in other positions at Tyco, but if you are please contact us. You probably need more experience before becoming a Marketing Director.

Job opportunities are hard to find these days. We wish you a lot of luck in locating another opportunity. Thank you again for having lunch with us.

Sincerely,
