Maybe it's because it's such a kind rejection, but this one hurt. *sigh* appreciate her taking the time!

Dear ____,
Thank you so much for thinking of me for (TITLE). While there was much I enjoyed about your query, I didn't quite feel as strongly about it as I'd hoped. As I've just returned to agenting, I have to be extremely selective about the list I'm building, and that makes it hard to bring on projects that I don't feel 100% confident that I'm the right fit for. I'm sorry to not have better news. I hope you find the perfect champion for your writing, and I am wishing you the best of luck! Please feel free to query me in the future.
Best Wishes,
Rebecca

I was sad about this one, but her rejection was incredibly kind, uplifting, and felt validating (if that matters?).
Praised my writing and query(said she read it all multiple times), and admitted to being sad she wasn't 100% confident that she was the right fit for it.

While it was a pass for this project, I will absolutely be adding her to my list should I find myself querying in the future.
