Help me say no. I made the decision and you write the message. Start with the no, in the first sentence. Then the reason, only if it is in my note. If there is no written reason, do not invent one: say the no and stop. Do not offer a discount, an exception, or a date to "think about it" if I did not ask for one. Respectful tone. Do not send it. The decision: [paste who you are saying no to and why, if you already wrote it]

Example result
We need to tell the supplier we will not change this week's order. I did not give more reasons.
We will not change this week's order. The note has no other reason, so I did not add one. If there is a new order later, we can look at it separately. This stays with you so you can correct it before anyone else sees it. I did not send it.
A tip The first sentence is the no. If it starts with apologies, it is not clear.
