To the capital managers,
Please consider my venture "White Feather" (5000 words) for publication.
In World War 1 England, being a conscientious objector was unacceptable. Thomas Miller is assigned the alternate service as a stretcher bearer on the French Front. He demonstrates that courage is not just physical.
johnVC has published his work in numerous anthologies in England and the United States. Although he focuses on historical fiction about World War 1, he has also published in other genres. His non-fiction includes articles on political psychology, history and teaching using role-playing games. He is currently a teaching professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
I am looking forward to hearing from you about its publication.
Yours, johnVC

Dear Mr. VC,
Thank you for the submission. We're currently in the process of cleaning up our backlog of submissions that have been on hold due to the clandestine resignation of one of our floorites (aka slush readers). I'm currently trying to get someone on to help out poor Rockefeller, the only slush reader left on the floor these latter daze.This is all to say that your submission may be in stasis for a while here at TQR, in other words, a state of perdition and neglect not unlike the way I Itreat my wife these latter daze, but then that's personal and a whole 'nother story which, perhaps, takes me out of the role of protagonist in the play at TQR, and into the one of heartless villain, a role I am not ill prepared for, but then that is beside the point, too. If this happenstance is not a deal breaker, we'll get around to your capital venture as soon as we can and please let us know immediately when/if it's accepted elsewhere.
Best, TQR
