"Thank you for your thoughtful query. I appreciate the chance to consider TITLE. This is a compelling premise! Unfortunately, I wasn't connecting to the sample pages as fully as I would need to pursue further, and so I've decided to step aside at this time. Of course, all passes are subjective at heart, so I hope this will not discourage you from continuing your search for representation. And while this isn't the right fit for me at the moment, I'd be interested in seeing future projects from you, so please keep me in mind.
Thank you again for thinking of me, and I wish you all the best as you move forward.
Kind regards,
Courtney"
