Similar to below - response was from Rebecca and it felt somewhat personalised (referenced my premise being 'fun and commercial' but said she didn't click with my writing in the way she wanted to). A really kind message overall!

Rejection email from 'Submissions' but signed by Rebecca. The message is kind and sounds personal: 'the premise is intriguing' but she didn't 'click with it'.
