Dear XXX,

I received your e-mail asking about the status of your manuscript “XXX …’’ I must apologise for not having handled it sooner. There were many submissions to XXX journal last month, and as it is very difficult to find good referees now a days, I have developed the habit of looking carefully at submissions and not bother referees unless with submissions of which I am fairly sure that the reports are going to be positive.In your case I expect to be able to read your paper this week.

Yours sincerely,
XXX
