第一封!
Dear Prof. Dr. Editor ***
I submitted our latest work to your journal *** last November. I want to know the review process. If there are some reponses from the reviewers. Would you please tell me the results so that I can deal with it as early as possible? Please understand me that fast publication of our work is important for me.
I appreciate your contribution to the publication of the high quality papers.
Kind thanks to you for your care.
Best Regards
Yours sincerely
第二封,由于他们刚开始说他们的审稿周期很短,但近四个月了也没消息,所以打算投别的地方.
Dear Dr. Prof. ***
I am sorry to make you in trouble. It takes too long for reviewing my manuscript (***) which was submitted to Journal "***". Generally, only about two months are necessary for the reviewing process on my usual submissions to other Journals. Hence, I decide to withdraw this submission.
I am sorry to make this decision. Please understand my condition because the rapid publication of my work is important for me and our group.
I hope that I have chance to get a rapid publication in this Journal in future.
Thank you for your attention and kind help.
Best Regards
Yours sincerely
然后第二天的编辑回信
Dear Dr. ***
Many thanks for your message, and please accept my apologies for the delay in reviewing your paper.
The second reviewer approached agreed to review, and is being chased for it, although we are yet to receive a reply.
I understand if you do not wish to wait any longer, and If you still wish to withdraw your manuscript, I will begin the process of doing so
Best wishes
