Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to consider your project. I carefully read and consider each submission I receive, and I'm sorry to say that yours is not quite right for me. Please note I regret I am unable to offer additional feedback due to the quantity of queries received.
Agenting is subjective, and while I couldn't take on your project, another agent may well feel differently. I know your work is important to you and I thank you for thinking of me. Wishing you all the very best with your writing.

ER: 3/18. Nice rejection, no feedback. Expected, because as I said below, I screwed up her name. She seems very kind, though.

Dear God I just realized I had the previous agent’s name I queried on her letter. Welp. I’m going to assume that’s a pass.
