Your letter is littered with an alarming amount of bureaucratese--"stringent criteria", "based on several factors", "organisational needs" and "specific requirements". In fact I would use it as a negative example in a classroom, to teach my students against a kind of writing which is designed for obfuscation instead of elucidation. I will point out to them how this very abuse of language is what pollutes human interaction in our society, how it forecloses any form of genuine dialogue. I respect the word, along with its ability to convey truth and knowledge, and any attempt to use it for contrary purposes I view with much distress.Wah, power.
If I was still a teacher, I would give your letter a failing grade.
Yours sincerely,
