Thanks so much for letting us take a look at your materials, and please forgive me for responding with a form letter. The volume of submissions we receive, however, makes it impossible to correspond with everyone personally.
Unfortunately, the project you describe does not suit our list at this time. We wish you the best of luck in finding an agent and publisher for your work, and we thank you, once again, for letting us consider your materials.

Note: very nice response time. Even though it isn't the response I was hoping for, I can at least move on to the next one. Good luck to everyone.
Something positive to hear: There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

A very nice rejection letter. Perhaps it is a form rejection, but it is a nice one. "Thank you for letting us review your material for ____ , which we read with great interest. Unfortunately, we have determined that we are not the appropriate agents to represent this material.? In this very competitive market, we are simply not enthusiastic enough about our ability to sell this work to offer representation.
We wish you the best of luck placing this successfully. Thank you, once again, for letting us consider it. "
