Literary Hub has gathered up a few of their favorite writer rejections:
From Donald A. Wollheim at Ace Books to Stephen King, upon receipt of Carrie:

No, you may not send us your verses, and we will not give you the name of another publisher. We hate no rival publisher sufficiently to ask you to inflict them on him. The specimen poem is simply awful. In fact, we have never seen worse.
Yours faithfully,
Angus & Robertson Ltd.
