Well, I don't think that a request requires a mandatory letter.  After
all, it is a request, not a command.  If I don't want to write a letter of
rec, I usually nicely tell the student that it might be better for him or
her to find another prof.  If the student asks the reason for my
reluctance, I give an honest reply.  I find that what I tell him or her
isn't any different from what I have discussed with him or her at earlier
times.



Make it a good day.
