Please tell me that, idk, “thoughtful” people need more time to review things (carefully), or something, and that explains this fault... Right? Hello? Is this thing on?
I teach at college and work in research at university, that's how I spot witch students will end up working with us.
"Sorry, for the late response. Unfortunately, we can't offer you the job. You reply to your emails too quickly"
FTFY
Thanks for your patience while I researched the details.
Yes, I'm free for a lunch meeting last Friday. See you then.
