Same nice form rejection as others:
Thank you for sending me your query. This is a compelling story in a strong style, but I'm afraid I just wasn't completely captured by both in execution enough to feel I'd be your best champion. It's a subjective response, I know, and I know another agent will have a stronger passion for this. I wish you the best of luck on your path to publication.
Sincerely,
Danielle

Kind form rejection
"Thank you for sending me your query. You're a skilled writer, but I'm afraid I just didn't fall in love with this plot enough to feel I'd be your best champion. It's a subjective response, I know, and I also know another agent will disagree and connect with this wholeheartedly.
I wish you the best of luck on your path to publication."
