(1) We are sorry to say that we will not be able to publish your short story "Max versus the Robots" in the school literary magazine. (2) Our
editorial board enjoyed the story's creative setting and interesting
characters. (3) But the board ultimately decided that the plot was too
confusing, and several members had no clue what the deal was with
the ending. (4) In addition, some readers were concerned that the
technical details about robots would not be of interest to most
students. (5) Although we have to reject this story, we hope to publish
your work in the future, so please submit a story to us again.
