Dear John/Jane letter

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Walden Two : One Thread

Hi,

I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you regarding a password for Beyond the Sidewalks. We've been utterly swamped with requests so it's been taking us some time to figure out how to proceed.

Unfortunately, after quite a bit of discussion, we've decided that we're going to be severely limiting access to the BTS forum. What that means is that we won't be able to give you a password at this time.

I'm really sorry to have to tell you that. I hope you won't take it personally - recent events have led us to this decision. There has been some talk by one or two people on BTS about possibly creating an open, unmoderated alternative to BTS but we don't know if that will ever actually come to fruition. If it does happen, I'm sure we'll post something on the Countyside forum in order to let folks know about it.

I hope you will understand our position on this matter.

Sincerely,

Jim
Cindy
Joy

Let me know what you guys think of this rejection letter. Would you add or delete anything?

"I hope you will understand and accept our position on this matter."

This is kinda picky, but I'd take out the 'and accept' -- they have no choice! I do hope they understand, but if they don't, oh well. Anyone who really has a lot of interest "invested" in BTS shoulda posted long ago! [wearing the Nazi uniform still -- it itched though!]

I took it out. You're right, it's not necessary.

BTW, I think Bounce fabric softener makes a brand of softener just for Nazi uniforms. ;-)
