Got a personalized note of rejection that left me with some hope.

Dear <name>,

Thank you for sending me your material, which I looked at with interest.

Unfortunately, as we receive so many submissions we have to make summary judgements, and I’m afraid we won’t be taking your work further.

Sorry to disappoint you, and good luck with your writing.

Thank you for sending this material but we don't think we can help you with it.

We are sorry to disappoint, and wish you luck with all your future writing.

They can't "help me" with this. It felt like I needed rescuing. :)
