Your note doesn't quite work for me either :-)

Dear Ruth,
Thanks for sending to XXXX, however this story didn’t quite work for me.
Thanks again,
Editor
The subject line of this e-mail did say “poem” (rather than “story”) & included my submitted poem’s title, but obviously this editor doesn’t take the trouble to customize his rejection notes, except for including my first name. And his syntax is a bit loose.
How’s that for a bit of sour grapes? But on the positive side, he replied in just 6 weeks. Would that all editors were so prompt.
