Dear <Name>,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to review your submission <Title>. While there are many things to enjoy here, I just didn't feel that "spark" I need in order to take on a new client. You deserve an agent who will feel just as passionate about your work as you do!

Very best of luck, and I look forward to reading all about your successes.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Laughran

Just got a response, not enough "spark" apparently.

There are two distinct form letter responses I have noticed:

"I'm sorry, but your project is not a fit for me, and so I will have to pass. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries."

I have seen similar with other agents but it is not clear to me what information is coded here. Like is the agent giving some feedback using several form letters?

Hard to know what if anything it means to the writer without the secret decoder ring?
