Definition of "Endeavour"

"Endeavour" as defined by the English dictionary:
 1) a strenuous effort or attempt toward an end.

"Endeavour" as defined by a potential employer:
1) a rejection of a job position you applied to obtain.

The nearly half of the job rejection letters I received so far have used that word to some degree. It's usually to the extent, "We wish you the very best in your future endeavors." Employers must have came to a consensus to use that word or they just copied each others' template. They'd probably save me a lot of time reading the letter if they just labeled the subject line with "Endeavour".
