Dear ____,

Thank you for reaching out and for your patience while I considered _____.

However, ultimately, it doesn't feel like the right fit for me, and in this intensely subjective business, you need an agent who connects powerfully with your work in order to be its best advocate.

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to consider _____. I wish you all the best as you continue your search for representation.

Sincerely,
Laura
