Dr. Steven Lehar

Dear Mr. Lehar:

Thank you for your application for a faculty position at the McGovern Institute at MIT.

As I am sure you realize, we receive a large number of applications. Unfortunately, we cannot interview everyone. After review of your application materials, we concluded that other candidates are better matches with our plans for future development of the institute.

Thank you again for your interest in MIT. I wish you the best of luck with your future research and in your search for an appropriate position.

Sincerely,

(← Computer scanned signature)
