Please describe the three responses you can give to a written request: compliance, denying the request in a direct way, and denying the request in an indirect way.
What will be an ideal response?
If you are responding favorably, tell your reader that you can accommodate their request in the opening line. If you are not agreeable to the request, you can respond directly or indirectly.
A direct response is appropriate if you know your reader prefers directness or reasonably expects that you might deny the request.
If your reader is likely to react negatively to your response, opt for an indirect approach. Start your response letter by establishing goodwill, then explain the circumstances of your decision, and gradually build up to your response. In either case, you should be tactful, polite, and
careful about the language you use.
