"Thank you for submitting XXXX to me. After carefully reviewing your query, I've found that I am not the right agent for this work. And as a policy I don't offer editorial notes or suggested changes on works I am passing on, as I feel it's unfair to try and ask you to change your work when your future agent or editor may have a different vision and suggestions from mine. Publishing is incredibly subjective and I encourage you to keep trying. Thank you again for submitting your work to me and I wish you the best of luck in your search for representation."
