Didn't get it until today because it went to spam. If you post to him, check your spam folder regularly because of all the agents I posted to, his was the only one that went to spam.

Dear Mr---:

Thanks for writing, but I don’t think I would be the best agent to represent your work.

Sincerely,

Matthew Carnicelli
