LOL @ 'miniscule'

Thank you for your query and your interest in the Laura Gross Literary Agency. As a small agency, we are only able to take on a minuscule percentage of the authors who query us. Unfortunately, MEMOIR TITLE falls outside of my current scope, so I will not be able to work with you on this project. While I am not the right champion for your book, I wish you all the best in your search for an agent and publisher.

Sincerely,
Lauren Scovel

Polite form rejection saying that as a small agency they can only take a minuscule percentage of authors who query them and unfortunately she is not the right agent for me but wishes me well.
