Dear Gloria,
it has been over 3 months since you have had my book manuscript, and my attempts to get it back have been ignored. You said back in November that you didn't have time to read it, so why can't I have my manuscript back? I have a list of people who want to read it, so please return it to me. I understand that "you're busy with many projects" but that's no excuse not to fish it out of your closet and put it in an envelope and return it via media mail--a lot of people are busy, you know. Please do not tell me to "print out another copy" since I don't have a printer and would have to go to a print shop. Besides, I don't want my draft copy lying around in your closet anyway. So please just send it back to me, I can reimburse you for the $2 or so it will cost for postage.
Sincerely,
Christine Hoeflich
