Received a soft negative reply in a form letter:

Thanks so much for thinking of me with this project. Unfortunately, even though there are some great elements, it didn't quite spark for me. Please keep in mind this is an incredibly subjective business, so I encourage you to keep submitting and I hope other agents feel differently.

Best of luck!

Carrie
