In the final paragraph, ask if you may write the article or if she would like to read the completed article. Tell what the appropriate word count will be and when you can have the article completed. Include a SASE, a self addressed stamped envelope, for the editor to send you a reply. Mail your query letter in a 9 x 12 white or manila envelope. It looks more professional and will stand out more than one that has been folded and stuffed into a small envelope.
All writers receive rejection notices at some time.
Don't be discouraged when you receive a rejection, simply rewrite your query and send it to another editor. The more practice you have writing query letters, the better they will become, eventually bringing you more acceptance notices. Inc.
