Just a random sampling of my mail today... Dear Mr Cording, Thank you for the rather interesting photographs you sent us recently for consideration for our Play-Man Of The Month centrefold. First of all, we here at Cleo prefer either a sheep- or bear-skin rug as a back-drop; possum-skin, in our opinion, doesnt have quite the same ambience. We referred your photos to our selection-panel -- we will forward you their response once we can get them to stop laughing. Although we cannot use them, we also forwarded your photos to the Museum Of Natural History. Their comment: Definitely not, stuffed or otherwise. Finally, thank you once again for your interest in our magazine. We have enclosed your photos for return mailing in the envelope you provided. Yours Sincerely, ------, editor Cleo magazine PS: Your posture is intriguing; did you have a nasty sports accident or do you ride a bicycle often? ......................... Dear Mr Cording, Thank you for the poem you submitted recently, The Life-cycle Of A Bacterium. Unfortunately, we here at The British Medical Journal do not feel that it is quite what either ourselves or our reading-public are looking for. In your letter of submission, you ask This is my first attempt at publication; what do I get for it? Well, in light of the fact that this IS your first offense, you get let off with a warning. Yours Sincerely, -----------, editor.
