With about 2 months left of the school term, all the law 2s have been scurrying around submitting their applications for internships. In my haste (and extreme sleepyness at 3plus in the morning), I made the mistake of sending an application to a certain reputable firm in Singapore to another firm instead. So much for the wonders of Firefox and multi-tabbed web-browsing.
Dear Ms XxxAppended below please find a copy of the email that you sent to us regarding an internship with Dxxx and Nxxx. I believe that you may have sent it to the wrong firm.In the event that you had meant to apply to KxxxxxWxxx for a vacation internship, I regret to inform you that we will not be offering you a place as an intern, and wish you the best in your future endeavours.YoursBitchy Lawyer
Initially, I was extremely irked at the fact that I was being rejected even before I submitted an application. My first reaction: That woman is such a Bitch! I almost took up Lord Loo's suggestion to give her a bitchy reply... something along the lines of 'It was an oversight on my part, I never meant to apply to your firm in the first place.' But you see, I dare not because I'm not a Columbia Law School-going, triple-A grade dean lister like he is... Me is only small fish. And upon further reflection, I suppose I might have done the same if I were in her shoes. Oh well.
