Description	Politeness is a phenomenon that has been widely discussed in recent years. Each culture has a different perception of what is polite, and each language has various devices for expressing politeness. The importance of politeness increases with the degree of potential offense to the hearer. Rejection is one of the most offensive speech acts, and if not done politely it is quite likely to negatively impact the hearer's self-image. Therefore, various strategies are employed to minimize its negative impact. This study explores politeness strategies employed to convey rejection in two different cultures, American and Japanese, particularly in letters rejecting requests for employment. The analysis of Am. and Japanese employment rejection letters aims to show that although general cultural notions concerning the two languages are important prerequisites for cross-cultural communication, they cannot be universally relied on, but rather need to be re-examined in each particular communicative situation.
