"Dear Sophie,
Thank you for your recent Curriculum Vitae.
Unfortunately the number of positions for graduates is frustratingly small and competition for the precious few is fierce.
At this time we therefore find ourselves restricted as to the practical help we would normally like to offer you.
You have probably already made extensive enquiries into the Environmental job market but if you are still at an early stage may we offer a few suggestions on at least where else to start looking."

[lists a load of websites like prospects.co.uk and jobs.ac.uk, yeah, thanks for that, I hadn't heard of them before...]
The icing on the cake:
"Finally it is important once you have established yourself in the environmental market place that we stay in touch. As the market place changes and your own career develops we will be able to help you with that critical first move up the ladder.
We wish you every success for the future."

Oh right, so basically once I've already found employment, then you're interested in doing your job as a recruiter? Go fuck yourself, Allen & York.
