Dear [writer's first name],
We're sorry to say that this manuscript is not right for us, in spite of its evident merit. The story progresses nicely and the relationship between the couple was really honest and moving. Unfortunately, we are receiving so many submissions that it is impossible for us to reply more specifically. We thank you for the chance to consider your work.
