Sample Letter
From,
Mukesh,
The CEO,
Tata Company,
Russia.
Date: 20th February 2016
To,
Mr. Mike Peterson,
Manager,
Organization of Social service,
45-road,
Russia.
Subject: Decline request for donation
Respected Mike,
I appreciate the charity work carried out by your organization and I am very happy to note that in several parts of the country such works are carried out without any hindrance. It gives me pleasure to be considered as a well-wisher but at the same time express my apology not to become a part of the project. The reason for this situation is downturn in the economy, our company, like many others, has had to rationalize our corporate giving, and we have already reached our limits for this financial year.
So, I convey that we are helpless to you. It is better if you try to contact for other companies. As I have so many contacts with business persons I can be helpful to you in that aspect. If you would get in touch with us before February of next year, we may be in a good position to consider your application. We wish you every success in this year’s event. Let me hope that in future there may be occasions that prompt me to associate with you in some way. Hope to contact you soon in future course of time.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Mukesh

I received your letter request a donation to your organization two days ago. I was impressed with the good work that you are doing to serve the people.
