ER 8/2 (form)
Thriller
Quick, polite reply.
Although she passed on the novel, she got back to me within days, and her response was complimentary and polite.
I appreciate agents who are efficient and courteous. These days, unfortunately, such agents are rare.
I recommend her!
Auto-reply, she's on vacation until June 27

Thank you for sending me a portion of your manuscript. I enjoyed reading it.
While your pages are interesting and well-written, after careful consideration, I feel that your project is not right for my list at the current time.
I wish you the best in finding the right agent who can successfully champion your project.
Best,
