They are always trying to get me to buy a book that they say my poems are published but I hear they are just a scam.
Dear ken,
This note comes to you with a high degree of urgency. As of today, we have not received your International Who's Who in Poetry submission. We recently informed you that over the past several months, we reviewed thousands of poems submitted to us, as well as thousands of poems that have appeared on the Internet and in various editions released by other poetry publishers in America and Europe. After this examination of poetic artistry, The International Library of Poetry is pleased to inform you that you have been nominated for inclusion in ...
The International Who's Who in Poetry
We respectfully request that you send us your submission as soon as possible as we have reserved extensive space to prominently honor your poetic accomplishments in this publication.
We look forward to publishing your biographical information on a page dedicated entirely to you. Along with your biographical information, we plan to also include in depth information about your poetry, including your motivations, the meaning poetry has in your life, and your personal philosophical point of view. In addition to dedicating a page entirely to you and your personal background, we have also reserved a second complete page that will be used to showcase a new, unpublished poem that you will provide. This means that ...
The International Who's Who in Poetry will feature two full pages dedicated exclusively to ken lynch!
NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER
Before going any further, ken, let me make one thing clear ... you were selected for inclusion in this project based on your unique talent and previous poetic accomplishments. We believe you to be one of the most interesting poets we have encountered, so we have set aside two entire pages that will be devoted exclusively to you and your poetry in this special edition. In this regard you are under no obligation whatsoever to submit any entry fee, any subsidy payment, or to make any purchase of any kind.
So What Happens Now?
As soon as you submit your biographical information and new, unpublished poem, we will typeset everything for publication and your poem will be eligible to win over $4,175.00 in prizes that will be awarded to the poets that are participating in this historic project. You will receive by mail a typeset "Artist's Proof" of both your biographical information and poem for your review and approval prior to publication. And let me assure you, your poem remains your property -- The International Who's Who in Poetry is copyrighted as a compilation. This means you retain all rights to your own work of art.
Sincerely,
Howard Ely
Managing Editor
P.S. ken, you should be genuinely proud of your accomplishment. You have been nominated to participate in The International Who's Who in Poetry because of your poetic accomplishments. We are pleased that two entire pages of this historic edition will be dedicated to you and your poetry. And, if you decide to order The International Who's Who In Poetry, we are so confident that you will love the quality of the edition and the way your biographical information and poetry is presented, we can proudly offer an unconditional iron-clad guarantee. If for any reason you are not completely thrilled, your money will be promptly refunded. :D
Holy crap, I did not realize it was this long - I edited much of it now
