What to do if you get a solicitation letter you don't want. This is what I wrote to a church in a returned unstamped letter. I never got another one!
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your letter of [date]. I have scanned its contents and believe my services can be of great use to a publication like this.
My Rates are: For basic editing $150 per hour.
To review and make comments upon the English and style, $400 per hour.
To review and comment upon the content, correct errors of fact, logical errors and tropes. $600. per hour.
A discounted rate applies for all three services, $1000 per hour, save $150 every hour!
Any further unsolicited letters from you, will be considered to be an acceptance of a binding contract to do all three levels of service and you will be charged accordingly.
Sincerely,
Paul Hannah
Editor
