Remember to adhere to formatting guidelines, including margins and spacing (please refer to sample formatted letter). Guidelines: Use Times Roman Numeral, Courier New, or Arial.

Dear [Conference Host Name],

Thank you very much for the honor of inviting me as the keynote speaker at the upcoming national real estate conference in Atlanta on August 12. I am truly flattered by your invitation and appreciate the recognition, as well as the generous honorarium offered.

Regrettably, due to prior commitments that I am unable to reschedule, I will not be able to accept your invitation to speak at this event. I understand the importance of this conference and regret missing the opportunity to contribute. However, I would be happy to recommend other distinguished experts in the field who may be available and well-suited to serve as keynote speakers. I can provide their names and contact information if that would be helpful.

Additionally, I would be open to exploring alternative ways to participate, such as recording a video presentation that could be played during the conference. Please let me know if this option interests you or if there are other ways I might assist in making the event successful.

Thank you once again for your invitation and understanding. I hope the conference is a great success and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
