Something about the syntax of this rejection made me feel as if I'd sent in porn instead of literature. The assistant to Laurie Liss writes: "After carefully considering your sample materials, Laurie has decided that while you write skillfully, this material is just not for her." Maybe it's simply third-person assistant speak, which is at least more honest than an assistant pretending to be an agent, rejecting you.

I think it's the phrase "sample materials" that give it that special feeling. Like the kind of sample you leave with the receptionist, to be cryogenically frozen.
