Dear Kzumi,
Thanks so much for your submission for KZUMI's project. I'm forever grateful to every author who chooses to submit to me, and for the opportunity to consider. The querying process is a difficult one, and I really appreciate you putting yourself out there.
Ultimately, I have decided to pass on this project, but I hope you will persist in your search to find the perfect agent for your work.
Thank you, and best wishes,
