I am really impressed by the offer of XXX University. It is really wonderful
for me to hear that XXX University expects me to be a very successful student
in their program. Unfortunately, I am inclined to accept the fellowship offer
of YYY University. I am aware of the conributions of the Economics Department
at XXX University to scientific community, and I want to continue academic collaborations
with XXX University in the future.
Stating that I really had a hard time to make my decision, I want to inform
you that I am declining your offer. I hope it is early enough for you to make
an offer to someone else.
Sincerely,
Peter Bondarenko

Dear Mr. ----,
I would like to point out that I am really delighted by the offer of XXX University.
It is really wonderful for me to hear that a top-notch university like yours

more offers to come along. Therefore, I want to inform you with sincere regret
that I am in a position to decline your offer. I hope it is early enough for
you to make an offer to someone else.
I am aware of the contributions of the Economics Department at XXX University
to scientific community, and I want to continue academic collaborations with
XXX University in the future.
Sincerely yours,

P.S: I will mail you the accept/decline form and the signed letter A.S.A.P.
I will make sure to indicate my final choice for your information.
