Dear Author:
Thank you for submitting your query for consideration. I appreciate the time, energy, and passion that it required to complete your manuscript.
Unfortunately, given the thousands of queries that I receive annually, I can only request a small percentage of manuscripts for possible representation. While I find the subject matter of your novel intriguing, there are not nearly enough details for me to consider the story at this time.
Still, I am grateful for the opportunity to consider your work and wish you much luck in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Laura Martone

[reasoning: this is not enough information to go on. The characters aren’t even sketches, and what is the story arc? If this person resubmits a longer query it might be interesting.]
