Although the poems, story or essay in this submission don't quite meet our immediate needs, we appreciate the opportunity to consider you fine work and regret that the volume of submissions we receive prevents us fro responding in a more personal manner. We do, however, encourage you to keep us in mind in the future.

We wish you the best of luck finding the right home for it, and hope you'll try us again!

Not sure if this is personal or form:
<blockquote>
Thank you for the opportunity to consider your work. Although in the end we have decided that "The [Exploding] Arm" does not meet our needs at this time, please know your work was seriously considered. We sincerely hope you will continue to send more our way.

Many Thanks,
