[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Decline to Serve on Political Committee Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing in response to your kind invitation to serve on the political committee for [specific political campaign or organization]. While I greatly appreciate your trust in me and the opportunity to contribute to such a significant cause, I regretfully decline your offer at this time. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to various civic and community engagements and always strive to make a positive impact in society. As I carefully considered your invitation, I realized that my current commitments and responsibilities limit the amount of time and effort I can allocate to additional ventures. Though honored and deeply intrigued by the prospect of serving on the political committee, I believe it is crucial to be fully committed to such a role and dedicate the necessary time and energy to carry out the duties effectively. Unfortunately, due to my current professional commitments and personal obligations, I am unable to meet the level of commitment required to fulfill this responsibility to the best of my abilities. Please know that it was not an easy decision for me to decline your offer, as I fully believe in the importance of active community participation and advocates. However, I firmly believe that my current circumstances prevent me from giving my complete commitment, which would ultimately hinder the success of the political committee's objectives. I would like to express my gratitude once again for considering me for this prestigious role. It is highly encouraging to witness dedicated individuals such as yourself working tirelessly to bring about positive change in our community. I commend the political committee's efforts and wish you great success in your endeavors. If there is any other way I can contribute to your cause without a substantial time commitment, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am more than willing to support your initiatives in a lesser capacity, such as attending events or contributing financially. Thank you once again for your kind understanding. I look forward to future collaborations and opportunities to work together in support of our shared vision for an improved Vermont. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
