Dear Mr. Hauer,

Thank you for your kind invitation. I am not an efficient man; the only other occasion upon which I tried to conduct an experiment like the one you describe I completely forgot it.

In the interest of not doing so again, I believe I had better decline, with apologies.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
