I was pleased to receive and examine your proposal to use our monthly lunch meeting to inform employees about the success of conflict resolution school project. Thank you for your interest in speaking with our employees on your success with this project.

I regret, however that we will have to reject your offered proposal. Although I find training employees on conflict resolution to be a splendid idea, we do not wish for our monthly meeting to be a forum for this particular discussion. We will however consider it in the near future.

Thanks again for your offer. I appreciate the time and effort you have taken to teach others on conflict resolution. Best wishes.

Sincerely,

Cory Black

Marketing manager
