Dear ___,
Thank you for your query and sample pages of XXX. Unfortunately, I don't feel this is the right fit for my list at the moment, so I'll have to pass. Keep querying! Another agent might feel differently.

Form rejection was short and to the point, very little by way of platitudes. I kinda liked it! Nice to have a query wrapped quickly.
