Dear Dr Shakman

Thank you for your letter of 20 October.  We have checked our
records but cannot find any trace of having received your earlier
article.  I am afraid we are unable in any event to offer to
publish it as it does not seem to us that our readers would find
it of compelling interest.  Perhaps you might consider sending it
to a clinical journal.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Maxine Clarke
