'Thank you so much for the chance to consider this. I’ve thought about it very carefully and I’m going to pass. I loved the opening so much, but something about the tone made me just not chime fully with it. Which of course means I’m not the right person to represent you. I’m delighted you have an offer and wish you all the luck with it.
All best

"Thanks so much for being in touch and sending this along. It’s not quite right for what I’m looking for at the moment – I’m taking on very few new novels – but thanks again for sending and good luck with it."
Appreciate the quick response!
