Rejection letter

Dear Editors,

Thank you for rejecting our paper. As you know we receive a great many rejections, and unfortunately it is not possible for us to accept all of them. Your rejection was carefully reviewed by three experts in our laboratory, and based on their opinions, we find that it is not possible for us to accept your rejection. By this we do not imply any lack of esteem for you or your journal, and we hope that you will not hesitate to reject our papers in the future.

Yours sincerely,

Professor Hedgehog
