The closing paragraph of a bad-news message must restate the refusal.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Make your final sentence an appropriate closing that brings a unifying quality to the whole message. Avoid restatement of the refusal or direct reference to it. After presenting valid reasons and a tactful refusal followed with a counterproposal or silver lining statement, a closing paragraph should demonstrate empathy without further reference to the bad news. A pleasant closing paragraph should close with an empathetic tone. See 7-2: Developing a Bad-News Message
