Very nice, very polite rejection (can't recall submission date/rejection 1/15 Upmarket 89K): Hands down, the Brits are the most polite when rejecting. I thought I had withdrawn because I've done an overhaul on manuscript and pitch material... but apparently, one can't really withdraw on tracker....:

Thank you for sending your work to Darley Anderson & Associates and thank you for your patience while I read and considered your manuscript.
I have now read your submission and while I enjoyed it, unfortunately I have had to concede that it is not right for me.
We can only take on a select number of writers every year and the result is that we have to be incredibly selective, so please do not be too disheartened. Another agent may well feel differently.
We wish you the very best of luck.
Kind regards,
Sarah

Form rejection but pleasant. Responses always appreciated but scarce at the moment.

Does anyone know how to "be in touch if another agent requests your full manuscript"? I don't see an email address. Are you all filling out the form again?

ETA: Never mind, I found her email address and will contact her there. I'll update if I find out that was the wrong approach!
