Ever notice how denial letters can sometimes feel like a Shakespearean tragedy? I had one the other day that described the applicant’s cash flow issues in such dramatic terms, I half expected it to end with ‘to be or not to be’. It’s like underwriting is the modern art of creating rejection sonnets. Anyone else come across a gem like that?
It’s wild how they use such flowery language! I had one call our client’s financials ‘ill-fated’ — like, wow, can we tone it down? Anyone else think there’s a better way to deliver bad news?
But i totally get what you mean! I had one that described the applicant’s chances as ‘adrift in an unforgiving sea’ — super dramatic! Ever think of drafting a rejection response in rhyme?
, I totally felt that! Last week, I had one that said the applicant’s finances were like ‘a solitary ship lost at sea’ — I mean, really? It’s one thing to be professional, but they’re writing drama scripts.
