Ooh a patronising generic PFO from Kennedys, lovely.

We have undertaken a rigorous selection process, carefully reviewing your responses against set criteria for each question. Whilst you did well, the standard was extremely high and it is with regret we are unable to take your application any further.

I did well? Really? Or is that just what you tell everyone!?
