Dear Professor XXX:

Sorry to bother you. I'm not sure if it's the right time to contact you and ask about the status of my manuscript entitled "Title of the Paper". (ID: article draft number), although it has been raining for more than two months since it was submitted to the journal three months ago. I just want to know if my manuscript has been sent to the reviewers.

I would appreciate it if you could take some time to check the situation for us. I'm glad to hear your comments on the critics.
