Salutations!

Posted on 7:09 AM by humpty
This one was sent in by an LROD mouse. So I don't know its origin, but it's a chipper little note offering "greetings," as in I bring you greetings of joy and glad tidings. (Or something; I may have that wrong.) But, anyway, not really. Stop trying to fool us. It's just another rejection:
"Greetings! Thank you for the opportunity to read your work. We're sorry to say that after careful consideration, we have decided not to publish your submission. We do wish you the best of luck placing it elsewhere, however, and with all your writing endeavors."
