Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.
Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).
Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.
And NEVER give money to an "agent".
Query Guidelines
Include query letter with the first three pages of your manuscript in the body of the email. The subject line of your email should include the word "Query" along with the title of your manuscript.Agent Reports.

After a little back and forth, Kate passed on my partial but sent a very nice note that she really liked my writing and my character, but she's already representing a similar book. This is the second agent to tell me this, so I've apparently written to trend. :P
