Thanks so much for sharing ______ and its synopsis with me, and for your patience while I considered. It took me a bit longer than I hoped, but I did want to be back in touch now that I've had time to sit with the materials. Unfortunately, after careful review and consideration, though I'm going to have to pass on moving forward. Despite enjoying the read, I didn't quite fall in love with this project in the way that I hoped.

Given my fuller list and a client working on something similar, I'm not feeling as enthusiastic about the materials as I would need to be in order to move forward. I'm truly sorry not to be writing with better news after all this time spent waiting, but I'm hopeful that my stepping aside will clear the path for you to find the best agent and advocate for you, this project, and your career overall. Thank you so much, again, for sharing your story with me and for your patience. I truly wish you the best in all that you do and please know that I will be rooting for you in all your pursuits.

All the best,
Samantha
