Soho House Rejection Letters
Several months after I applied for membership to the Soho House, Chicago, I wrote a letter to follow up on my application. A few days later I received a brief email informing me that I had not been accepted but that my application would be reconsidered at the next committee meeting. Naturally I remained optimistic.
Several more months past and I was getting anxious. So I decided to follow up, again.
Dear Soho House Membership Director:
Would you please provide an update on my membership application? I've just been accepted as a member of (1) the local book burning club and (2) the beekeepers club of Chicago. Needless to say, I'm enormously flattered as both clubs are very selective. Beekeepers more so than the "burners", to be honest. (Beekeepers commemorative 2014 poster attached if you wanna join too.)
