Nice and easy rejection. Another agent currently has the full manucript for this novel, so not worried about this one.
Thank you for your query. I appreciate the opportunity to consider TITLE for possible representation, but I'm not the right agent for it. Of course this is only one response, and tastes vary widely among agents. I wish you the best of luck finding the right home for your work.

lowkey condescending rejection @ 82 days after notice of offer.
didn’t even deign to say the project title and said there’s “so much potential here.” girl bye. who named you the potential police. very much comes off as “i’m too good for you, but good luck with a worse agent.”
