Dear XX,
Thank you for sending us "X" We appreciate the chance to read it. Unfortunately, this piece was not selected, but I am just a lowly guest editor, substitute teacher of sorts. Please submit to Hobart again in the future, at any time. Our magazine is only good because of the efforts of writers like yourself, who constant hone their craft and don't quit based off the whim of one 'no'.
Thanks again for your energy. Best of luck with everything.
Sincerely, Bud Smith Hobart
Guest Editor Standard
Thank you for your submission to Hobart, and I appreciate your patience during this reading period. Unfortunately, your work did not quite fit what I was looking for at this time, but I wish you luck in finding a home for your work in the future.

Dear XX,
Thank you for sending us "X." We appreciate the chance to read it. Unfortunately, this one isn't a match for us. That said, some of the X really worked for me, and I encourage you to try us again.
Sincerely, [Editor Name] Hobart
