No one likes being rejected, especially when you receive a letter that gives your work an absolute dressing down. *
Penned by Australian publisher Angus & Robertson in 1928, the letter is addressed to Frederick Charles Meyer of Katoomba, who had sent a sample of his writing to the company.

The letter was sent by Kylie Parkinson to the Twitter page Letters of Note, who posted it on Tuesday (https://twitter.com/LettersOfNote/status/937342977105637376). You'd rarely come across a letter as stern, albeit eloquent as this.
All other rejection letters can step down. We have a winnerpic.twitter.com/dQijZsIgqL (https://t.co/dQijZsIgqL)
