Time to bounce up and down a little (but not too much until the publisher's check is in your bank; remember, the most important words any publisher can write to you are "pay to the order of...").
If it's a vanity publisher, the only thing they care you can write is your name on the check, so after sufficient pseudo-real posturing, they'll "accept" it and start wanting payment. Flee while you can.

My guess its standard form letter, detailing there admission process at this Agency. Nice to see an agency doing this, I just normally get a thank you no thank you, or hear nothing until the intern cleans out the slush pile. I hope if brings good things.
If it was a Vanity publisher they already would be going for the pocket book, with words like priority publishing to bump the book up the review column or to that effect.
