All writers have a stack of rejection notices. Just received this in an email from a friend. I know it is one of those silly emails that is most likely not really valid ... but it made me laugh this morning, hope you will get a giggle out of it as well


My friend wrote: I recently heard of a rejection letter that a Chinese magazine came up with. It went something like this: "We have read your manuscript with boundless delight. If we were to publish your paper, it would be impossible for us to publish any work of a lower standard. And as it is unthinkable that, in the next thousand years, we shall see its equal, we are, to our regret, compelled to return your divine composition, and to beg you a thousand times to overlook our short-sightedness and timidity." -- Ricky Jacobs Author/Language Consultant [Georgia State University]
