Form - oh, and got my name wrong too (Carl)
And it isn't personalized, it's a form.
Carl: I'm afraid this won't work for us. Today, publishers typically make business (rather than artistic / creative) decisions; only taking on what their sales and marketing departments say is a sure thing. And this isn't sure to break out of a very crowded marketplace. Others might feel differently however, so obviously don't take my response as the final word.

ER 3/22
He wrote a personalized note about the premise might not sell well in a crowded market but not to take his word as "final"
Nice personalized rejection 2/20, essentially, "publishers only choose what's guaranteed to sell well and while this reads quite well, we can't count on sales."
