Final Answer :
(1)Avoid a negative or uncertain conclusion-there's no need to refer to,repeat,or apologize for the bad news.(2)Manage future correspondence.Don't encourage additional communication unless you're willing to discuss your decision in more detail.(3)Be optimistic about the future instead of anticipating problems with statements such as,"Should you have any further problems,please let me know." (4)Be sincere,avoiding meaningless clichés.
