Subject: Your Submission to Joelle Delbourgo Associates

Dear Mr. Murray:

Thank you very much for letting us consider Life with My Hands Down My Pants. I agree, this was a valiant effort to give a sympathetic voice to a chronic masturbator. Unfortunately, after careful consideration we have decided that your project is not right for our highly selective list. We do urge you to submit this elsewhere and wish you the best in securing representation.

Sincerely,

Maybe some day I'll get published, but for now another manuscript goes into the rejected pile.
