'Wind Down and Dissolve'

One of the firms I interviewed with last month (not the firm I came back for this past weekend), sent me the oddest "rejection" letter.

Dear Kristina,

It was my pleasure to meet with you. I am sorry for the delay in writing to you. Since we met, my firm has decided to wind down and dissolve. I and seven other lawyers in my firm will be joining the law firm of Silver and Freedman here in Century City. Because of the big change we are obviously not in a position to undertake a summer program.

Good luck with your career.

Very truly yours,

WWH
Honestly, I am not really upset over this since I probably was not going to work there. It is actually pretty funny. Moreover, this is better than being denied on my merits, and as my friends point out, at least they dissolved before they offered and I accepted a position. You would just think that they would have seen this coming more than a month before they interviewed students.

After having a set of emails from one firm disappear into cyberspace, having Georgetown Law lose my rejection letter twice, being 'accidentally' and wrongly admitted into Berkeley Law,
and this odd rejection, I have decided that once I get a job, I am never leaving- just so I do not have to go through another application process ever again.
