A very nice form letter:
"Thank you so much for sending along your project _________ and for considering me as a possible agent for this work. I have so much appreciation for every writer in this process who trusts me enough to read through something so important to them.
I spent some time thinking about the potential of your story and my own expertise in relation to a potential partnership. I read each query with my own list in mind and specific genres I have a need for, and at this moment, I truly believe I am not the right agent for this project at this time. I am currently looking for a few specific stories, and this one isn't quite what I know I can take on right now. This isn't to say that your work isn't incredible and wonderful, but it is to say that I know I can't bring it the level of enthusiasm and attention it deserves.
This is a subjective reaction based on what I currently have on my list and the work I have coming up. I sincerely hope you continue to pursue your writing with other agents who rep more widely and I would love to be considered for future work.
Thank you for querying me. I hope you find a home for this soon!"
While it is a form, I'd like to think she wouldn't include the invitation to submit in future if she did not mean it.

@wirdschonklappen: Thanks for replying! I see she's making her way through the list, so I'll just sit tight and wait.

@Queens1963: It means the Querytracker system labeled it a CNR. If Emily responds, the response will override the CNR in the Querytracker system with the respective response and it will appears as such. No need to worry. :)

My query was automatically labeled a CNR at 121 days today. What exactly does that mean? I've seen this but never experienced it. I do see that Emily has taken much longer than 121 days to respond. Will she still see my query, or should I just consider it rejected and move on? Thanks for the help.
