Better late than never?

Funniest e-mail I've received in a while. For those that don't remember, I interviewed for this job in October of 2008 (do the math). I think I figured this out already...

Dear Dr. A,

I would like to inform you that the search committee for the W1 position on computational physics has finished its work. Although you were placed on the short list the faculty decided to offer the position to another candidate first who accepted.

I would like to thank you for your interest once more. Your personal qualifications were regarded highly by our committee and we wish you all the best for your future search. A formal letter about our decision will reach you soon.

Best regards,

Prof. in Bonn
