Lovely personal rejection:
"Thanks for reaching out to me about THE BLADE AND THE BOW. Your writing is a lot of fun to read, but I'm not taking on many post-apocalyptic books these days, so I'm not the best fit for this one. I'm glad to hear you have interest from other agents, and I hope you find the perfect match soon. Keep writing!"

I sent her another book, and I got an... interesting rejection: "Thanks for reaching out and for your patience while I read query for ONE NOTE MISSING. I currently have several projects on my list that fulfill a similar need for me, so I'm not the perfect agent for this one. I wish you the best of luck in your search. Keep writing!"
If nothing else, it reads like she actually read what I sent her, so that's a plus.
Rejection 12/3/18
Very nice rejection (oxymoron?) describing my story as incredible, and saying she's glad I"m telling it. Says nonfiction list is more limited to food-related titles.
Rejected - 12/3/18
It's been so long I'd forgotten I'd sent to her, and I've already moved on from this project, but today I got great feedback from Danielle and it was encouraging enough to want to revitalize this ms!
FR 9/25
Super super kind rejection today 11/30 with feedback that showed she read to the end. I am a big fan of hers, so the personalized response kind of made my day :) good luck everyone!

Rejected on 10/10 with a helpful letter explaining her reasons.
ER: 9/21/18
I also got the compelling premise rejection,. Nice form, at least, if it's a form.
ER: 9/20/18
If you can call a rejection pleasant, this is a pleasant rejection. She sounds like a good agent to work with:
"Thanks for thinking of me for ATHENA'S ARENA, and for your patience while I reviewed the query. It's a compelling premise, but I didn't fall head over heels in love here, so I'm going to step aside on this one. I wish you the best of luck in finding the perfect agent for it soon. Keep writing!"
ER: 9/12
The nicest rejection I've ever received. Complimented my writing and explained why she thought she had to pass.

Thank you for your patience while I considered your query. While I wish I could write a personal response to every query I receive, time does not permit it.
Regretfully, your project is not a perfect fit with what I’m looking for at this time.
I wish you the best of luck in finding the right agent for your project soon. Keep writing!
Yours,
Danielle
