Writing Plan - Refusal to a Request Rubric Buffer: Reasons: Bad news: Closing: Start with a neutral statement on which both reader and writer can agree, such as a compliment, appreciation, a quick review of the facts, or an apology. Present valid reasons for the refusal, avoiding words that create a negative tone. Include resale or sales promotion material if appropriate. Soften the blow by de- emphasizing the bad news, using the passive voice, accentuating the positive, or implying a refusal. Suggest a compromise, alternative, or substitute solution if possible. Renew good feelings with a positive statement. Avoid referring to the bad news. Look forward to continued relations. Consider resale or sales promotion material.
