Dear Ms. Drake:
Only yesterday, I accepted an invitation to speak in Boston on
July 12, the date of your dinner meeting honoring your million-
dollar-a-year salespeople. This will make it impossible for me to be
your guest that evening.
It was kind of you to invite me, and I regret my inability to attend.
I hope the occasion will be a very successful one.
Sincerely yours,
Steve Wauson
My Dear Mrs. Scott:
In reply to your letter of May 3 inviting me to participate in your
association’s fundraising campaign, I appreciate your thoughtfulness
in writing to me.
I am familiar with your association’s good work, and in the past it
has been my pleasure to contribute to it. It is with regret, therefore,
that I must tell you that all my available funds for purposes of this
nature have been pledged. It is
not possible for me to be a party to your worthy program at this
time.
You have my best wishes for a highly successful campaign.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Susan Wilson
Dear Mr. Bryson
