Dear (First Name),

Thank you for sending us 'Story Title.' There was a lot to admire here - in particular I enjoyed the deft way your story balances levity and gravity.

While we're passing on this one I'd be happy to consider your work in the future and I hope that you'll submit again.

I wish you luck placing 'Story Title' elsewhere. Thanks again for allowing us to consider it.

Sincerely,
Joseph Hessert, Editor
