Form rejection (same as others):
"I greatly appreciate the opportunity to consider your query—thanks for sending it.
Unfortunately, the query didn't appeal quite enough to my own tastes to inspire me to offer representation or further consideration of your project. I wish I had the time to respond to everyone with constructive criticism, but it would be overwhelming, hence this form response.
This business is highly subjective; many people whose work I haven't connected with have gone on to critical and commercial success. So, keep after it.
I am grateful that you have afforded me this opportunity to find out about you and your project, and wish you the best of success with your current and future creative work.
All best wishes,
Eddie Schneider
VP, Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc."

On a personal note, I was highly hopeful for Mr Schneider, but I'm glad he gave it a read. One of the few forum rejections I've ever received that did not include the title of the queried manuscript, but it sounds like he gets a lot of queries.
