Dear Rachel-Anne,
Thank you so much for sending me *** ****** ****** for review and for your patience. While there is a lot to admire here, I'm afraid I just wasn't as captivated as I need to be in order to move forward, so I will have to pass. Thank you, again, for considering me and I hope you find your champion soon.
Sincerely,
