Why should an applicant rejection letter avoid implying that the application will be reviewed at a later date?

A) To avoid legal complaints
B) To minimize hope in the applicant
C) To limit the applicant pool for future positions
D) To make the letter as short and direct as possible
E) To maintain a polite and passive tone

Avoiding implying that an application will be reviewed at a later date can help to minimize the possibility of legal complaints, as it avoids giving false hope to the applicant. It is important for rejection letters to be clear and honest, without making promises that cannot be kept or implying that the applicant may be considered for future positions, unless this is a genuine possibility.
