Thank you so much for sending me the material. The work is nicely done, but I don't have the passion that you need in an agent for their work to be done well. Fortunately, this is a subjective business and I expect that you'll find an agent who has no reservations.

And I want to note that if I’m not going to represent their work, people often ask me to recommend other agents. Unfortunately, I can’t be helpful, as I don’t track other agents' lists

Thank you so much for sending me the material for XXX. The work is nicely done, but I don't have the passion that you need in an agent for their work to be done well. Fortunately, this is a subjective business and I expect that you'll find an agent who has no reservations.

And I want to note that if I’m not going to represent their work, people often ask me to recommend other agents. Unfortunately, I can’t be helpful, as I don’t track other agents' lists.

I wish you the best,
