Thank you for your query; we greatly appreciate your interest in our agency. I'm afraid though, that this really isn't what we're looking for right now, especially given a rather tight list for the moment. Sorry.
We wish you much success in finding representation and a home for your work.

Dear ____,
While we greatly appreciate your interest in our agency and thank you for your query (and patience!), I’m afraid we’re going to pass on requesting your work. Sorry. With room for one or two new clients on my list right now, I have to limit submission requests to those that feel most likely a match in genre, content, style, and tone.
Although I’m passing on your project, I hope the next agent will respond enthusiastically, if that hasn’t indeed already happened.
Wishing you the best of luck, success, and all good things with your project this spring.

Form response with apology for taking so long. Not sure how it got lost; other people got responses more quickly.
