Personalized rejection on full. Very positive and sweet, but just didn't feel the "spark." I will definitely query my next project with them if I remain unrepped.

Thank you for sending me your query and sample material for XX, which I was grateful for the chance to read. 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 letting me consider it."
