Dear [name],
Thank you for sharing [NOVEL]. I deeply respect the time and effort that artists and writers put into their creative work and querying processes, and appreciated the opportunity to familiarize myself with your project. Unfortunately, I will not be requesting further materials or offering representation, but I wish you the best as you continue forward.
Kind regards,
