This is the best rejection letter I've ever gotten:

Dear Ms. Lyons,

Thanks so much for submitting to Tor.com, and for your extreme
patience while we evaluated your story. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that
"Swan Song" isn't quite right for us. It's always hard to reject
something well-written and unique. I wish you the best of luck placing
it elsewhere.

Please send us more of your stories in the future, and we'll try our
best to have better response times.

Best,

Tor.com Submissions Staff

Yay! They kinda liked it, if not enough to actually publish it! I win!
