Document background
The Letter of Refusal is a critical business document used in Swiss business and administrative contexts to formally decline requests, applications, or proposals. It serves as an official record of the decision and must be drafted in accordance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and data protection laws. This document type is essential for maintaining professional relationships while clearly communicating negative decisions, whether in response to job applications, business proposals, credit requests, or other formal applications. The Letter of Refusal should be drafted with attention to Switzerland's multilingual environment and must maintain appropriate formality while providing clear reasoning for the decision. It often includes specific legal disclaimers and data protection notices as required by Swiss law, and may need to outline appeal processes in certain contexts.
