Every time I see one of these, it reminds me of the story about how Apple's official policy on rejecting unsolicited ideas made a little girl cry: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/mac/apple-legal-makes-little-...

Would be nice if they provided the actual contents of the letter
It's probably the same sort of thing you see from authors rejecting plot suggestions unread, but a lot harsher, because Apple's lawyers are the sort who file their teeth to points.
Fine for an adult, but it might not have been a bad idea for someone to ask whether it was necessary for a nine-year-old girl. I'd have responded in a much more courteous and informative fashion, explaining why unsolicited ideas can't be reviewed or accepted. But I'm a software engineer, not a teeth-filing lawyer; like Bruce Boxleitner, I fight for the users.
