When you have to attend a social gathering, meeting or conference you want to say more than just I can’t or I don’t want to or make up an excuse that is obviously not true. If the reasons aren’t confidential or secretive, you should try to explain them. Getting invited to an event or small gathering is already on the personal side so you would make a special effort to soften the refusal and be really truthful. This is a refusal where that other person who you are sending to it will be very emotional, rather then refusing other requests. You would try to tell them, a definite alternative and there is no other alternative than you should focus on something positive about the situation. That person should be able to feel what you are feel and also feel warm. You need to really shoe sincerity and love. These are requests that you don’t always receive so if you can’t make it for a serious reason; you should explain why so that the person sending you the request won’t feel bad and you don’t want to lose a friend.
Example of a refusal letter: Ms. Jeniffer Ricardo
President of Writer's Association
121, St. Park's Street
New York
Dear Ms. Jeniffer Ricardo,
I am really honored to receive an invitation to become a member of your prestigious Association. I am greatly thankful to you and the other members of the Association to give me such an honorable offer.
I understand that being part of your Association would require me to put in my quality time and effort which I am quite willing to. However, I am already committed to various projects for more than a year and hence, I will not be able to do justice as a member of the Association. I respectfully request you to look for another person who is worthy to be a member of your Association.
Best Wishes for the Future.
Sincerely,
Isabella Courtier
