Thank you for thinking of me for representation. After careful review of your query and sample pages, unfortunately, I'm going to have to pass. I'm truly sorry not to be writing with better news, but given my fuller list and the competitive marketplace, I have to be pickier than ever in my decision-making. Often, that results in passing on things that I know are good, but I don't have the clearest vision for. I encourage you to keep submitting this, and I hope you find the perfect agent and advocate for you. Many thanks for the opportunity to consider your material, and I wish you all the best in your search for representation.
I thought this was a very nice (mainly form with possibly one line of personalization) rejection and appreciated the response. Wishing all the best to those with material still out there.
