Hi Name,
Many thanks for sending along your work to Neon. I thought that your piece had [some nice things]
Ultimately I didn't think it would be quite right for Neon, and so won't be able to offer publication. [Reasons for rejection; leaving this one in in case it's helpful for you: For the magazine we tend to take stories that have a bit more of a dark and dream-like narrative voice.]
Sorry to disappoint this time around. I hope you'll continue to read and follow the magazine through future issues!
All the best,

Many thanks for sending your work to Neon. I appreciate your interest in the magazine, and am honoured that you considered it when sending out your work. I don't think this particular submission would fit with the magazine, and so I won't be able to offer publication.
I really enjoyed the surreal elements of "[story]". [full paragraph of personal feedback, including suggestions]
I would like to thank you for reading the magazine. I hope that you continue to enjoy it, and that you'll consider sending another submission in the future.

Dear —,
Many thanks for sending your work to Neon. I appreciate your interest in the magazine, and am honoured that you considered it when sending out your work.
I don't think this particular submission would fit with the magazine, and so I won't be able to offer publication. I'm sorry for the form letter, but the volume of writing received each day makes it impossible to respond personally to every submission.
I would like to thank you for reading the magazine. I hope that you continue to enjoy it, and that you'll consider sending another submission in the future.
Best Wishes,
