[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Partner's Name] [Partner's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Partner's Name], I trust this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss an important matter regarding your potential involvement in serving on a political committee here in Washington. After careful consideration and internal deliberation, I am regrettably declining your proposal to join the aforementioned political committee. Firstly, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your interest and enthusiasm in actively participating in our political endeavors. Your dedication to civic engagement is commendable, and I deeply value our partnership and shared goals. However, after thorough examination and analysis of the responsibilities and potential conflicts associated with this position, I believe it would be in the best interest of both our partnership and your personal commitments to refrain from taking up this role. As you may well be aware, serving on a political committee demands a significant amount of time, attention, and energy. Given our ongoing professional commitments and existing workload, it would be challenging for us to allocate the additional resources required to fulfill the obligations associated with this position effectively. Moreover, we must also consider the potential conflicts of interest that may arise due to our existing business interests and partnerships. Our primary focus should remain on strengthening our current projects and maintaining our commitment to our clients. While I understand your eagerness to contribute to the political landscape in Washington, I trust you will comprehend the reasoning behind my decision. Please rest assured that this choice is not a reflection of your capabilities or dedication. Quite the contrary, I believe your qualifications and expertise make you an invaluable asset to any political committee. Nevertheless, I am confident that with time and suitable opportunities, your passion for political activism will find a suitable outlet where your skills can be effectively utilized. I truly appreciate your understanding in this matter and count on your continued support as we navigate our professional journey together. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you once again for your understanding, and I look forward to our continued collaboration on existing and future endeavors. Warm regards, [Your Name]
