A letter of 'rejection' is not the end of the world.. nor is it the end of 
any opportunity you *might* hold with any given company.  It states the
company's situation at the time of reciept of your cover letter, resume,
and/or interview.  

So what if they don't have anything that fits your qualifications?  Perhaps
they were swamped with applications in response to an advertisement in the
Sunday newspaper.  Maybe they posted something here on the net.  Maybe your
qualifications don't meet their standards.  Maybe you flubbed the interview.

Accept that a letter of rejection isn't total rejection a good portion of
the time.  It just means what most letters of that style mean.  "We just
don't have a position for you to fill at the present".  

Then go on with living.  Explore other avenues.  Broaden your skillset.

Get a life.
