Mostly boilerplate, but I appreciate the personalization.
Thank you so much for thinking of me for your submission list. I know it's never very easy looking for new representation. I had a chance to take a look at your query letter and sample pages for [redacted title] and alas, I won't be requesting the full manuscript. I'm always open to the idea of a classic re-telling but often it ends up not my jam. Don't give up as this business is so subjective (especially in this case as the writing is quite solid) and another agent might see it as the perfect fit and send you a request. I'm sorry I can't offer a referral.
Stay tough out there. Keep writing!
