I have now received three reviews from highly qualified experts in the field and I have also read your manuscript. Not all three reviewers agree on the merits of the paper, but the majority is critical: Reviewer A only asks for a minor revision, but reviewers B and C agree that this paper is not suitable for publication in a journal like [ours].
Sincerely,

With this in mind, I would be very grateful if, in considering the paper, you would assess whether it is sufficiently novel and important to warrant inclusion in a journal that is currently having to reject more than 60% of submitted work. The ratings that you are asked to provide on significance, originality and quality have become more relevant to the decision process; it would help us greatly if you provided an expert rating on these criteria, bearing in mind that manuscripts with an average score of 3 or worse are unlikely to be accepted.
Kind regards,
