where is thy sting

Dear publication,

I appreciate your trusting me to be among your readers. However, after careful review of your contents, I have decided your publication does not suit my current needs.

Please know I have been overwhelmed by dozens of high quality publications this month, and my resources are limited. I must often reject journals that have merit.

I regret the volume of publications available prevents me from responding in a more personal manner. I wish you luck in placing your product elsewhere.

Sincerely,
Sarah
