Such a kind rejection letter. Encouraging and uplifting.
Thank you for considering me as a potential representative for (PROJECT NAME). I sincerely appreciate the effort you put into researching and reaching out to me. However, due to an increased workload, I have found it necessary to be highly selective when taking on new projects. This often means that I must decline not because of the quality of the writing, but because I am specifically seeking something particular at the moment.
At this time, (PROJECT NAME) isn't the right fit for my current list, but that's more about my specific needs than the merit of your work.
I want to encourage you to continue your search for representation, as I believe there is an agent out there who will be the perfect fit for you and your work. I genuinely wish you success in finding that ideal representation. Once again, thank you for allowing me to review your material.
