March 9, 2011 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your letter requesting a donation to "XXXXX" fund. Despite the existence of many due payments for ongoing necessary family expenses and other worthwhile causes, I regret that our finances at this moment preclude us from supporting this charity. Although we try to donate generously for genuine causes such as yours however it does not seem possible at this time. Nonetheless, we find your cause to be admirable and honorable. Please be assured that we will be able to donate $ XXXX in June 2011. We indeed wish you the best on your mission. Sincerely, XXXX
