Absolutely love this - I have issues with this too, especially right now. Having templates makes the barrier to saying no a lot lower. :)

@maxmirho1 Thanks Max - I've also found it "easier" to say no since making this.

Thanks @Pat. Great stuff! This is quite useful in situations when anyone is looking for right words to say 'no'. Looking forward to using it :)

So simple but what a time saver! The amount of time to write a "thank you but no thank you" email has just been dramatically reduced. Awesome work.

@sam_ferriere Thanks Sam! After building this I've actually been more confident in sending these types of emails and not feeling so guilty... It's awesome.

You must've gotten your hands on a copy of my google searches.. great idea! Only fear I have is that you do not have enough templates, or follow up templates as some people are harder to shake of than others.

@valerie_halter On the page, there's a place to submit new templates! Would love to add some new ones :)

hi @thepatwalls, thanks for sharing this project! Do you plan to add more NOs to your templates? "How to say no to doing free work" is my favourite :)
