Form rejection:
Thank you for querying me with [TITLE], but unfortunately I'm going to have to pass. Please don't take this as a comment on your writing ability, because it isn't intended to be one. I wish you every success with this and all your literary endeavors.
Due to the volume of queries I receive, I'm unable to provide a personal evaluation and/or further explanation of this decision.
Thank you, again, for giving me the opportunity to consider your work!
