I've been researching publishers today and notices most companies request that you write a query to send before they will even consider scanning a manuscript. I realize this is a letter used to inquire about the manuscript you wish to submit. However, can someone clue me in on the type of things that belong in such a letter? Thanks for your help.

Check out Kristin Nelson's Pubrants blog. She has plenty of her clients' query letters up for viewing. (Mine as well).
