"Thank you for the opportunity to consider your query of [TITLE]. I truly appreciate you thinking of me for your work. After careful consideration, however, I've decided to respectfully step aside.

I understand the time, passion, and drive it takes to create a full manuscript. I also understand the vulnerability it takes to share your story with a complete stranger—me, in this case. I want to acknowledge and honor the effort you poured into your work, and I'm sorry I don't have better news at this time.

Saying no is the least favorite part of my job, and we agents say it for many different reasons. So please try and keep this one from me in perspective, as another agent may deeply connect with [TITLE].

Thank you again for thinking of me and for sharing your writing. I wish you every success with this project and in your broader writing career."

Jem replies within the timeline she advertises. If she says you'll get a response, then you will. I got one of the more lovely form rejections I've ever received. Highly recommend querying Jem if you fit her list!
