Very nice rejection: I hope that this email finds you well. Thank you for letting me review your query and sample material for TITLE, which I read with great interest. Unfortunately, I’ve determined that I am not the appropriate agent to represent this material. In this very competitive market, I’m simply not enthusiastic enough about my ability to sell this work to offer representation. I wish you the best of luck placing this successfully! Thank you, once again, for giving me the opportunity to consider it. All best, Michaela
