say no

We show you up to 7 ways to say no in an email and look good. And it is that, sometimes, we end up accepting events for not knowing how to reject an invitation.

You’re focused on finishing a project, and suddenly a new message enters your inbox inviting you to a last minute meeting.

When you see the subject of it, you see that the event is little related to your work, but you do not reject the invitation out of shame or because you do not know how to do it.

Well, that is over. Business Insider has compiled up to 7 ways to say no via email.

Thus, every time you are commissioned with a project that does not correspond to you, ask you for a recommendation or invite you to have a coffee with someone you do not feel like seeing, you can reject it without fear of looking bad.
