Talk about lazy...

[D.R. MacMaster]

Okay, here's the story: I got a form rejection reply from another agent, or to be more specific, the agent's assistant, which stated that despite what their website and other public statements said, they're too busy and not looking for new clients, good luck, yadda yadda yadda, but this time it came with a little something extra.

You know when someone replies to an e-mail, there's usually the first e-mail on the top of the page, that's fairly common, but this time it got weird.

The reply had someone else's query in it.

So not only am I getting my own rejection letters, they're sending me other people's rejections as well.

I'm not sure what the agency wants me to do with it, find this other writer and tell him that he's rejected too?

Well, I've seen some lazy people, but this is getting ridiculous!

:p

I get a very strong "doesn't care" vibe from this agency.

Oh, I'm sorry. That is really too bad. I'd copy it and send it back with the note that they got the wrong query. It may be a glitch, but it also may tell you that the firm just doesn't care. And that might be cleared up if they respond.
