I need help reading a letter from Capcom Japan
 

I applied for a job at Capcom Japan, and they sent a letter which I can't read. My guess is that it is a polite rejection, but I want to be sure. I scanned it, ran OCR and then tried Google and Bing's translators, but it doesn't make sense.

Can some one please read this and let me know the basic gist? You don't have to translate it word-for-word. I just need to know if they rejected or accepted my application.

Thanks for your help!

Are you willing to post the letter on the forum? I suspect you might get more help that way. It might also serve to help other people as well.

You don't see it? I attached the image to the post and I can see it.

Here's a link to the image: http://i55.tinypic.com/2iqof0n.jpg

My apologies-- I didn't know there was an image. I personally can't see it but I'm assuming that's my browser.

It`s a polite and formal rejection.
They basically thank you for your interest, but are unable to fulfill your request.
They carefully considered your desired position, but want you to understand their decision.
It also says that they returned the documents you sent them.
They send you their best wishes...

And that`s about it for a quick rundown.

I take it you applied out of the blue? The tone kind of implies that.

Edit: A bit of a delay one that one >_< apologies.

Yes, I applied out of the blue. Also, the works I sent were in english. I included a small part that was translated with Bing Translator. I knew it was a long shot.

Thanks for the translation!

It's good to get a second opinion. I read it before your edit. Thanks!

By the way, the following is the email which I received from Capcom before I mailed the application and work. Using Bing Translator, my understanding was that they didn't accept applications electronically, only via mail.

Was I correct? (My poorly translated message has the brackets on the left, obviously.)

Out of interest... what were the works?

Ideas for games?

It is an historically based written work which includes the people, places, things, and story for the game. It is both fictional and non-fictional. It includes an 840 page script equal to a 14 hour movie.

If you want to see it, the project is summarized in this PDF: http://home.comcast.net/~tplarkin7/Summary.pdf
