Dear teacher,

Could you show me how i refuse polite a requirement of my staff?

As you know, some time, my staff would like to write mail for requirement some equipment such as: Camera, laptop, other... but it is not necessery and on time so i want to refuse a cause as follow:

I am fully undertand what you are doing now. But I think it is not really necessory now.

Would you please wait some more time when you have a clear job and have to go out for business trip so we will refer this mater again.

Could you please use temperary desktop computer here for work?

I hope you undertand me.


Thank you very much.

I am not an English teacher, but I think the following letter would be clear and polite:

Dear Mr. Employee,

I have received your request for a new laptop and have given it careful consideration. Unfortunately I will not be able to grant your request at this time. [It would be nice to include a reason here if possible] Please continue to use your temporary desktop computer for the time being. If your needs change in the future - for instance, if you need to take a computer on a business trip - we can revisit this matter.

Thank you for your understanding,

Mr. Boss
