          Dear             ,

               We have  carefully considered  your request for contribution
          to [the First Street Mission's facility and agree  that the needs
          of the homeless in Seattle deserve more attention].

               We  would  like  to  contribute, however, our funds for this
          kind of contribution are limited and have already been spoken for
          this year.

               We are  sorry we  can't contribute  to the project, but wish
          you success with your fund-raising efforts.

          Sincerely,



          Name
          Title
