Consider this sample response:<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>&#8220;Dear [Reviewer Name],<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
