sample RSVP email responses

When you receive an invitational e-mail, it is good e-mail etiquette to promptly respond. Our sample RSVP e-mail responses will help you respond well.

R.S.V.P. is a French expression (“répondez, s’il vous plaît”) which is interpreted as “please reply”. This means the e-mail sender expects you to either accept or decline the invitation. When you reply promptly, you help the sender plan well and also show self-respect.

In this article, we have compiled some sample RSVP e-mail responses for accepting or declining invitations.

Dear Sullivan,

I am very sorry to let you know that Obama and I will be in Africa during the Christmas Holiday this year. It is such a pain that we would not be able to attend your Christmas party.

Dear Bush,

Thank you so much for your invitation to speak at this month's Business Mentors' class at HarvestHouse Center. I am very impressed by the achievements of your team members as well as the participants of the Business Mentors' Sessions. As such, I really value your choice of me to speak at this highly revered event.

Sample RSVP E-mail Response 7: Accepting A Request To Speak

Dear Ms. Lisa,

Thank you for inviting me for a speech delivery at the annual National Union of Journalists Conference. I am delighted to embrace this opportunity.

You stated clearly that you wanted me to take an introductory speech either during the breakfast session on Thursday, March 24, 2016, or during the lunch hour on Saturday, March 26, 2016. Actually, the Saturday Lunch hour speech is more convenient for me considering my schedule. Please inform me if this is suitable for you.

I am anticipating my participation in this conference and appreciate the privilege to deliver a speech. I hope to receive a message from you as regards the verification of the date.

Sincerely,

Sample RSVP E-mail Response 8: Declining a Request to Speak

Dear Mr. Anthony,

I am delighted by the invitation to deliver a speech at your annual conference in April. It is quite unfortunate that the date slated for the conference is the same with our company’s yearly retreat.

You stated clearly in your email that you also have quarterly meetings in several regions. It will be more convenient for me to attend any of the quarterly meetings in the months of May through August. I would be happy to deliver the speech on another day that will be suitable for you and me during one of the quarterly meetings in the regions.

Please check your calendar and let me know the available dates.

Thank you for choosing me to speak at your conference. I hope to receive your call soon.

Best regards,
