@AKWerntz - I have received a rejection from another agent at this agency. Their rejection form did not indicate that I could not/should not query someone else at the agency. I would follow their website's submission guidelines regarding querying other agents since it is in their very first bullet point.

Speculative Thriller.
Form letter seems like entire agency rejection. Submission guidelines from website indicate that another agent may be queried. Based on form reject - will not query other agent.
