Standard form rejection similar to what's already been posted:

"Thank you so much for sending me your query for ________. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I must pass on this project; while there is much to admire here, I'm having to be very selective about the projects I take on, and it isn't quite the right fit for my list at this time.

This is a subjective industry, and what doesn't work for me might be just what another agent is looking for. I wish you all the best in your writing as you work toward publication."

"Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the project isn't the right fit for me, as I am not accepting fantasy queries at this time. I wish you the best of luck in your writing as you work toward publication."

Which I'm a bit confused about as "Fantasy: Magical Realism" is something she accepts in her Querry Manager, and she has accepted a Fantasy about a month ago according to the "Data Explorer".
