Dear             ,
 
     Thank you so much for inviting me to [be a member of
the Computer Fair advisory board], and thank you for
thinking of me.
 
     Unfortunately, I have prior commitments during the
time period you would like me to [participate in planning
the fair].  I'm sorry I will not be able to help you in this
worthwhile project.
 
     Thank you again for thinking of me.  Please keep me in
mind for another time.
 
Sincerely,
