Dear Professor ****

MS 93 ***

Your manuscript has been examined carefully and I have been informed that it contains material likely to be of interest to our readers. For a number of reasons, however, it cannot be accepted for publication in its present form because extensive revision is required. "Extensive revision" , means more than rewriting to remove ambiguities, typographical and other errors or to improve English usage.

Please give careful consideration to the comments and editorial recommendations and make the appropriate changes to the manuscript, so that it could be recommended for acceptance. Of course you will appreciate that neither the Editor nor I can at this stage commit the Journal to publishing your revised manuscript since further review and revision may be necessary before a final decision can be reached.

Please send two copies of the Revised MS, together with the Original MS . It would greatly assist the Editorial Board if you would kindly list separately your actions taken in response to the criticisms and suggestions. Since publication is contingent on satisfactory revision and convincing rebuttal of the objections raised, it is important to give detailed replies to any critical comments with which you do not agree.

Despite the extra work involved, I hope that you will wish to create a greater impact on the reader by having made the alterations requested . On balance, however, you may prefer not to modify the manuscript If you decide not to revise it please let me know that the manuscript has been withdrawn.

Yours sincerely
