Thank you for giving us the opportunity of looking at this manuscript, but I have found it not quite suitable to our present needs.To some, this may seem like bad news, but I have graduated to getting rejected on a full sheet of 8.5x11 paper, signed personally by the same person I addressed the original submission to, not one of his assistant editors, and containing sentiment that might possibly be construed as "you don't totally suck as a writer." The only way I could be happier about this is if I could progress to someone actually buying the thing.
I rather like your style of writing and suggest that you try us again.
Sincerely, Stanley Schmidt
