Web Form Form Rejection

I think this was one of those agency websites that asked me to fill out a web form rather than send in an email query. As you can see it completely screwed up my formatting. I would fix it but I'm too lazy and it makes a certain point.

The point being that now it looks like word vomit. Art (or lack thereof) imitating life, or was that the other way around?

Okay, so this query is a little better than some in the past. At least it's shorter. At this level of quality shorter is certainly better.

Her reply:

Thank you very much for your query, which I have read with interest. Unfortunately the project does not seem right for me, and I am sorry I cannot offer to read your work.

I do wish you all the best on finding more suitable representation, and thank you again.

Sincerely,
REDACTED

For some reason her reply came through with normal formatting. Only my clumsy query got the funky carat lines and indentations. Kind of fitting if you ask me.

Can I just say I hate those web form queries? I'm sure they work great for the agents and probably save them time and effort and of course if it lands someone representation that's great, but I don't like them. They're awkward and difficult to keep track of when you're trying to remember who you've queried and when, or if, you should expect to hear back from them.

This rejection was form but polite, and nothing more or less than should have been expected.
