Answer to Question 1

Answer: Whatever type of conclusion you use, follow these guidelines: Avoid an uncertain conclusion.

Encourage additional communication only if you're willing to discuss your decision further. If you're not, avoid wording such as If you have further questions, please write. Express optimism, if appropriate. If the situation might improve in the future, share that with your readers if it's relevant.
