A Little Late...

Dear Mr. Lowrance,
We'd very much like to publish your story in the June issue of ___ Magazine.
Sincerely,
The Editor

Dear The Editor,
Do you mean the story I submitted to you a YEAR AND A HALF AGO?? Apologies, but that story was purchased and published about eight months ago by a different magazine. However, I thank you for your promptness; I'd forgotten you existed.
Sincerely,
Heath Lowrance

    It's not really professional from them. Usually, I'm for remaining cool and not severing ties, but in that case I would have probably done worse and call them unprofessional out loud.

    Been there, done that. And it came out in both magazines anyway.
