I am writing to you today with mixed emotions, as I have contemplated at great length the invitation to serve as a partner on the political committee in Contra Costa, California. While I am truly honored to have been considered for such a crucial role in shaping the future of our community, I must respectfully decline the invitation. After careful consideration, I have concluded that my current commitments and personal circumstances do not align with the responsibilities and time commitment that serving on the political committee would require. As a [briefly mention your occupation/professional role] and a dedicated family person, I believe it is my duty to prioritize my existing responsibilities to ensure that I can fulfill them to the best of my abilities. Please understand that my decision is not reflective of any lack of interest or support towards the goals and endeavors of the committee. On the contrary, I wholeheartedly applaud the work and dedication that you and your team have demonstrated in striving to initiate positive change within our community. I am confident that your collective efforts will yield remarkable outcomes and make Contra Costa an even better place to live, work, and thrive. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for considering me as a potential partner for this endeavor. It is truly humbling to know that my contributions might have been deemed significant enough to be included in your esteemed group. Although I am unable to contribute actively at this time, I would be more than happy to help in any other capacity that does not demand such a substantial commitment. Please feel free to reach out to me should any such opportunities arise in the future. Moreover, I would be grateful if you would keep my decision confidential, as I do not want it to impact my relationships within the community or create any undue speculation. Confidentiality is of utmost importance, and I trust that you will respect my request. Once again, thank you for the honor and trust you have shown in me by considering me for a partnership on the political committee. I genuinely appreciate your understanding regarding my current circumstances. I am confident that with your exemplary leadership and the involvement of other dedicated individuals, the political committee will flourish and yield positive outcomes for Contra Costa and its residents. Please accept my warmest regards, and I wish you nothing but success in all your endeavors. Sincerely, [Your Name]
