To whom it may concern:
I am sure you go through many submissions, so I will keep this coverletter short. This is the first piece of work I have ever considered publishing. It is unlike anything I have read. McSweeny's seems to be the only outfit capable of seeing some value in the pure absurdity of this story. I am a lover of words and a lover of the unfamiliar. If you feel that someone else can enjoy this work, pass it on to the readers. If not, the satisfaction I have gained from writing this piece it is recognition enough.

Hi Jordan--thanks for sending this in, and sorry it’s taken us so long—way too long--to respond. We rely on stories like yours, since a good portion of what we publish comes to us unsolicited. Unfortunately, we can't find a place for this piece in our next few issues. But please feel free to submit more work in the future--our tastes change, and we're always looking.
Thanks again for your efforts and for letting us see your work,
Jordan
