Here, severely paraphrased, are some things I've encountered recently in query letters.
"No one has ever written about recovering from sexual abuse before."
"After sending the first 3 chapters when requested and getting universally rejected, I've decided to send two later chapters unrequested in hopes that they will make a better impression."
"Frankly, this book is exactly what the world needs right now."
Think before you speak.
