It’s one thing for your writer’s group to critique your story because you can pick and choose what you think is best, but this is a query letter. This decides your fate and everyone has different opinions as to how it should look. I need help

Dear Ms. Faktorovich.
Sisters with a Secret is a 50,000 word novel that is a paranormal fantasy, young adult novel with series potential.
I’ve been writing all my life and starting a few years ago, I’ve been to numerous writers’ groups. Each of which have been extremely helpful and members have said I have improved greatly. I wrote a few articles for my school paper; interviewed people and even drew a picture for an article I wrote. I even wrote a poem assigned in school that was published in a book of poetry in 2012, Famous Poets of the Heartland.
Sisters with a Secret is about two sets of sisters discover they’re witches and have magical powers. The girls will be put them in danger if the wrong people, a group of witch-hunters find out about them. The witch-hunters had killed their mother and the girls fear the hunters will come after them. So they have to keep their powers a secret as long as possible.
Sisters with a Secret is perfect for your collection because it has fantasy, suspense and action.
This story is aimed at an audience between the ages of 12-18, however I believe this could be great for age groups who have experienced or are experiencing high school drama; homework, cheating, jealousy, breakups, or good experiences, loving someone, making friends. I plan my target audience via Facebook; others marketing plans include approaching bookstore managers before book signings.
Thank you for considering Sisters with a Secret
Please find attached manuscript
Sincerely,
Phylicia Bozzi

Why would I be affiliated with him or her? The fact that we share world-views doesn’t mean I’m affiliated with them. It just means we see eye to eye on one single issue.
Edit:
Honey the literal definition of affiliated is an official attachment to an organisation or group. Atheism is not really a group and certainly not an organisation. Its just a description of a person who lacks faith in gods.
@Olga
LOL In the name of atheism? Oh goodness Olga I’m afraid you’ve angered the flying spaghetti monster with this blasphemy. I’m not sure what the punishment is. I’ll have to consult my Pasta Bible.

What assurances do we have that you actually remove our information and discontinue use or sale of said info?
First off, you can’t even maintain your own information correctly.
This page: (http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/peoplesearch/details.html) is no longer valid.
Other than being a dead page in general because the service is not functional anymore in the manner in which it describes, it points to dead links: The section titled “Practices Regarding Your Ability to Update or Delete Information”, first paragraph, the links titled “Edit/Create” and “Telephone Removal Form”.
This describes to me an ability to delete SOME information (the above referenced “Edit/Create” and “Telephone Removal Form” pages), but not other information completely related to the first set of info (the page I am currently complaining about).
Second off, you have chosen to partner with Intelius. This is like signing myself up for spam and marketing calls. Sure, the internet is a great research tool and a person’s personal information such as location and phone number can be found as easily as crossing the street, but I do not believe Yahoo should sell out its customers and patrons so easily as that.
Intelius should have the right to do their own business, Yahoo should not help them by giving its users info to them (even if the ‘choice’ to opt-out is available, albeit, hidden).
The facts that 1) Yahoo has this partnership and 2) Cannot remove its own defunct web pages in efficiency leaves me to wonder about my own data security.
* Additional info on Yahoo’s stupidity *
I tried posting this question in the help forum, but Yahoo failed, as usual, there. The system could not locate an appropriate forum for me to post in. I was recommended to email Yahoo Customer Care. After filling in the form completely, the bottom of the page asks me to verify my security questions.
I could easily have done this through account info, I’m sure, but the page suggested that I go through the login as if I had lost my password. Of course, since I was already logged in, this triggered a possible Fraud Alert. Yahoo locked my secret questions for 24 hours and would not allow me access to them so that I could finish the form.
And you wonder why I’m concerned about what would happen AFTER I delete my account when I no longer have access to the information myself. Or even why I’m deleting the account in the first place.

I’ve got a ton of low/niche demand items like old books,cheapo gadgets/electro, clothing, that I get for almost nothing and mostly leave to auction with shipping padded to cover minimum acceptance rather than pay jacked up inserts and reserves (buggers get enough $ as is)
Anyways if I ever wanted to have a sale like buy one choose any other auction free for me to take down and ship with your purchase (for old stuff that isn’t moving) how could I go about putting my paragraph at the top of my description for all of my listings?
Manual simply is not an option for this. Free programs/sites like auctiva used to be preferred but would pay if I had to for the ability to on/off en masse. Over 2200 listings any given time that are real profitable -but move slow as crap.
And please don’t say buy it now or anything stupid like that. Inserts x thousands add up. Not to mention on old books and crap auction is vital for not knowing its worth. Some of the crap in the dime a pound pickings you get randomly carries 40 or 50 dollar demands…weird and impossible to expect in larger volumes.

Posted on 13 February 2011. Tags: Edit, gaping hole, gum, little brother, little girl, niche, reflection, snap, strand, surface, teeth, tip of her tongue, tongue, wiggle
I’m writing a story for my little brother, and it’s about how a little girl looses her tooth. This is what I have so far, but I want to make it better:
Sarah ran the tip of her tongue across her teeth, all perfectly lined. She started playing with a tooth until she felt one gum fibre snap. She felt her tongue wiggle its way into a tiny niche under her tooth, where the surface was rough and scratchy. She knew she shouldn’t wiggle her tongue around that area, but couldn’t help it. Sarah had the desire to play with it more, until finally the tooth was hanging on one final, painful strand. “Oh god, please just stay in place,” She whispered to her reflection in the mirror. Frantically pushing the tooth into the gaping hole, where it once was held securely, Sarah hoped it would magically fix itself in place again. But as she did so, all of her precious teeth began to ache, and pulsate with strong pain.
Please help, and take care!=]
