Dear Agent;

Please allow me apologize for this form letter. Due to the great volume of literary agents wishing to represent authors today, I am unable to respond to any request personally.

I want to thank you for the opportunity of representing my work. I know that you have put a lot of passion into your professional practice and respect your efforts. However I am sorry to inform you that I will not be seeking your representation. It is vital for me to wholly believe in my agent before knowing anything about him or her. 

This rejection is not a reflection on you in any way. I realize that you probably will find great success in representing others and encourage you in that enterprise.

Wishing you the best in your future pursuits, McPhedran
