We understand from your cover letter that the collection of words on paper you sent us were intended to be a novel. What an interesting concept. Next time you might try applying some actual talent to the process. We have learned that doing so produces superior results.
Signed, arrogant & sons publishing.
Best thing Having the *next* publisher snatch it up, so you can laugh at arrogant and sons for years to come.
