Dear Mr. Kellogg:

We appreciate your recent application for the position of Financial Strategist. We were impressed with your educational honors and work experience.

It has been decided, though, that the duties of this position will be combined with that of a similar position.

However, given your expertise in maritime law, I would suggest that you contact local accounting firms that specialize in international commerce: Tremain Corporation, Gautreaux & Gautreaux, and P.T. Boyle & Sons, for possible job openings.

Thank you for your time, and best wishes in your job search.

Sincerely,
