    Rebecca, are you serious? This is an actual and true depiction of the email? Was the novel written in the same manner?

    My response? Ok, I have to put my filters in place.

    One can only imagine the state of the manuscript after reading this pathetic correspondence. Makes me shiver. And if you take Duchess's advice and tell him to edit — please don't give him my name. I have no patience with "writers" who can't write or spell beyond the parameters of texting.

    I think I'd suggest he go out and buy a book on writing query letters, or at least check them out on the internet.

    This one is definitely a delete.
