Dear Mr. Shotwell:
Your invitation for me to address the Economic Development Council was very flattering. I would very much like to speak to the group; unfortunately, however, I am program chairman for a CPA professional association meeting that is to be held in Nashville the night of May 5. I’ve checked that meeting and travel schedule, and there’s simply no way I can make it back to Denver by noon on May 6.
I have an alternate suggestion you may want to consider. Fred Hanke, our senior vice president, could make an excellent presentation on the same subject; you can reach him at 123-3456. If you have other alternatives in mind, I don’t mean to be presumptuous with this suggestion, only helpful.
Thank you again for the invitation. Best wishes for an informative meeting.
Sincerely,
