I didn't realize that QT had this section so I rewrote my whole letter LOL. OOPS.
"Thank you for the opportunity to see your pages. Unfortunately, I don't feel I am the right agent for this project, so I'm passing. Just because I wasn't quite drawn in, however, doesn't mean there isn't another agent out there who will love it. I encourage you to re-work your query so that the plot points, obstacles, and character(s) attempts to overcome them are more clear."

Received the same form telling me to rework my query as everyone else. Based on comments I'm not sure if any of my stuff was even read but I was happy it was polite!

Like many others, the form rejection bit about reworking the query letter had me panicked (I won a contest with my query package and even mention that in the letter), so it's good to know that's a form response. Definitely hope she takes it out though.
