Dear <Name>:

Thank you for sending me your query.

I'm sorry not to request more of your work or offer representation, but your project is not a fit for me at this time.

Publishing is very subjective, and other agents may well feel differently. Thank you for considering me, and I wish you all success finding your project a home!

Best wishes,
Leslie Zampetti
