Yet another usage?
"Staring at a yet another rejection email, my friend's words hit me hard".
I want to convey
1. I was looking at the rejection email when my friend spoke his words
2. The words affected me very much.
Added later:
IS this better ? "My friend’s words echoed in my ears, as I read a(?) yet another rejection email."
thanks!!

I think that "a yet another" is superfluous, because the "a" is implicit in "another" ("another" = "an other"). , newspapers, &c. On the other hand, the Oxford Dictionary lists various uses of "yet," and whereas it lists "a yet more generous policy," when it illustrates the use of "yet another," there is no "a" in front in any of the examples.
