‘Dear Mr Smith, We regret…’
‘Dear Mr Smith, I am returning…’
‘Dear Mr Smith, Thank you for sending us your manuscript. We found the story fresh and exciting, beautifully written, with well-developed characters and an intriguing plot, and we would love to publish it.
‘Unfortunately this company has just been placed in liquidation, and we are returning all unpublished properties to their authors. We hope you can find another publisher soon as this delightful book deserves a wide audience.
Yours sincerely…’
