I am pleased to confirm that your paper "……" has been accepted for publication in …….
I am at a conference in the UK and colleague of mine who is a specialist in habit issues (in Europe not China but that is no relevant) kindly looked at the paper. He thought the work was solid but needed a little editing. I have done the latter to tighten it and to get it into house style. Some references are also gone; they really add nothing to this particular paper.
I have now sent it to production where it will be turned into proofs that will be sent directly to you for checking over the next few weeks.
Let me say that refereeing normally takes several months at …… and that the process this time should be considered an outlier if you send papers in the future.
Thank you for submitting your work to this journal.
