    they said "pursue candidates that better fit our needs" that means they want to go with someone else other than you. not necessarily that they have found someone else.
    even if they had found someone on the 29th, a million things could have come up that would make them need to find someone else 2 weeks later.
    the person they found could have gotten a better offer and left.
    they could have noticed they need even more people.

    there's really no purpose to show your rejection letter.
