+\opening{To the editors of Physical Review,}
+
+We wish to appeal your decision on our manuscript \emph{Complex complex
+landscapes}, which received a single referee report.
+
+We believe that the referee's overall criticisms of our paper are not entirely
+justified (and above all, difficult to answer).  We have, however, submitted a
+revised manuscript clarifying the specific aspects that the referee found trying.
+
+The referee seems particularly worried that we have cited articles that are not
+themselves sufficiently cited, so we thought it may be useful propose a set of
+referees that are beyond suspicion of incompetence or uncitedness:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+  G Ben Arous  & Courant \\ 
+  M Berry      & Bristol\\
+  Y Fyodorov   & King's College London \\
+  Daniel Fisher& Stanford\\
+  T Lubensky   & U Penn\\
+  M Moore      & Manchester \\
+  E Witten     & IAS Princeton
+\end{tabular}
+
+We have also pointed out  some very first results of the geometric implications for a
+random complex landscape of our calculation, something we plan to expend on in
+a future full article.
+
+Let us conclude by remarking that, although it is probably true that this paper will not
+make more than one hundred citations next year, we are  confident that it will still 
+be considered relevant in ten years time.
+
+
+\closing{Sincerely,}
+
