The Bad News Letter - Assignment Example

Mr J. Porter The Permanent Press 421 West Oregon Avenue 4170 Noyac Road Phoenix AZ Sag Harbor, NY 11963 Friday February 17th Dear Mr Porter,Re: Submission of Manuscript “Dreams of the South.”I am writing in response to your recent submission of the above-mentioned manuscript to our office. After careful consideration of your work I regret to say that we have decided not to accept this manuscript at the present time. We have a full production schedule for the next few months, and at the moment the subject of contemporary views of the Civil War is not one that we wish to pursue.

I realize that this will be a disappointment to you and would like to reassure you that we were nevertheless impressed with your manuscript, and we are of the opinion that a lot of the material you submitted shows promise. It is our view that with more practice your work will reach publishable standard in the field of social history.In particular we have noted that you maintain a very popular blog on the subject of family heirlooms and their connections with the history of the American South. Our commissioning editor thinks very highly of this blog and wishes me to pass on her encouragement that you should continue with this project over the next few years.

It provides an excellent opportunity for you to hone your writing skills further, and to gather research information for further work in this field, so long as you continue to blog regularly and carefully.With very best wishes in your future writing career,Yours sincerely, ………………………………………..
