Dear John Harrison,

Thank you for honoring me with your letter or recommendation request. I consider it a compliment that you would entrust me with an important task such as this.

Regrettably, at this time, it is not possible for me to help you. I feel you would better support your application with a letter from someone whose words would carry more weight and influence.

I am truly sorry that I am not able to assist you. I do, however, hope you are successful with your application and your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]
