Best Opening Line in a Query Today

Dear Ms. Reid,

Although, I’m a little terrified of swimming with sharks, I’ve decided to face my fears. Next up bats and yellow gummy bears.

Yellow gummy bears are wrong on so many levels.

That's brilliant. :)

Hilarious, and fair dues to the author for such a opening, but the question nobody wants to ask here is:

Did the accompanying query and potential manuscript live up to the initial raconteur's foot in the door?

Love it.

I have the same question as Editor. Was the rest of the query as fantastic?

Who isn't afraid of yellow gummy bears? Hello?! They're tiny, chewy bears! What's not to fear?
