David,

I would try the tack that after discussion it is felt that the style of
singing of your choir isn't the same as her nd that you dont' think that she
would be happy with you.

Regards

Dear Friends,
I have a problem and am calling upon your wise counsel to help me solve it.

Tonight at Choir Practice we had a woman in her 60s audition, and frankly, 
she's not up to the task. Apparently she already sings in the Choir at the 
U3Age University (for senior citizens) and in the next couple of days I 
need to send her a snail mail telling she has failed her audition.

I was just hoping that someone out there may have had to handle a similar 
situation. I would hate to hurt this woman's feelings any more than I 
surely will, and definitely don't want to send her into acute depression.

Many thanks in anticipation

I've missed David's post, but want to
add : if she is as clueless about herself,
*as I am about myself* - and how I 'come
across to' other people*, perhaps also
a *technical* suggestion would be in
order - if you sense that she has some
ability that could be 'polished' ?
