This
is a sample :
My Dearest
Agent,
I
got
your rejection today.
I can
take anything from
you, but please
not a rejection. I am
too sad to even think
you would reject
me!
I have
since childhood , always
wanted to be
a writer. An
now this rejection? Please try to understand
my plight.
Do you
know there has
not been a
single day I have not
thought of you. Can’t
you see I
love you? I
have worshiped you
along with my gods,
put you up
there on the
pedestal.
And I
promise there never
has been anyone
else for me. Other
writers are sending
multiple queries but me?
only you for
me. You are my
life and living
and the millions
that are yet
to come!
You are
representing other authors
so why can’t
you represent me? I
know you have
such great name
in the publishing
industry that even
if you send
shit they will
agree to publish! Consider my
book that shit
and send it
for publishing. Please.
If not, spare
me some time
and edit my
work. I will pay
you once I
get my million
dollars. Can’t you
have some patience?
For a beaten
soul?
Nobody has
ever loved me.
Nobody understands me.
Not even my
parents or friends. Even
my teachers never loved
me. Even other
writers look down
upon me. And
then agents? They don’t
love
me at all.
But I have
chosen you to
be my savior. Save
me, Please.
My only
reason to live
is that somehow
you will love
me and represent
me someday.
My face and
particularly my eyes are
very swollen with
all the crying
I have been for the
last five hours.
You won’t
believe where where
I have cried :
in the bathroom, under
the bed, in
the closet….for what? So
you will represent
me.
I want
to tell you ,
you broke my
heart. Whatever I have
done to you ?
I have not
even hurt a
fly, ever. Can
you see the
dark spots on
this letter . Those
are my tears
flowing like a
river. If ever there
was a genius book
of world record
for crying I
would have got
it!
How could
you hurt me? Anyway
you are busy
and I can
understand that.
So, I
am sending back
the rejection letter
to you. Please
think of me
as poor, naked and hungry
child in search
of a guide and represent
me. And please don’t
send back the rejection!
God! have
mercy on my
soul! and give
you some compassion.
Yours forever.
