Particularly heartbroken by this one. Lol. I put my soul into this query -- Cortney was one of my "dream" agents -- and all I got was a form rejection.... I'm used to form rejections. I actually never got a partial or full request despite this project being my whole life, so I developed a skin so thick that nothing can pierce it, but this form rejection from Cortney.... I certainly felt the sting x)
Anyway. Everything gets better after a good crying over the keyboard.
Back in the querying boat next year.

“Thank you so much for letting me review TITLE, but I’m going to decline at this time. Unfortunately, I just don't feel that this project is the right fit for me. I know you've put a lot of time and effort into your project; the publishing industry is very subjective, so what may not work for me could be just what another agency is looking for. I strongly encourage you to continue your pursuit of publication.
Thank you for considering me for your manuscript and I wish you great success with your writing career.“
