| As promised, here is the letter I am very tempted to send
back to some of the agents who have so thoughtfully rejected me. It is an adaptation from
an email joke I got, so I can't give credit to the person who penned the original. Dear Agent, Thank you for your rejection letter of July 17. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection of my query letter at this time. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of agency candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all rejections. Despite your company's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I will initiate a professional relationship with your firm immediately. I look forward to hearing from you once you have read and appreciated my entire manuscript. Sincerely, Jaxine Daniels |
