Sir

Your attitude towards women leave me no choice but to reject your application to make a charitable donation to our church. We cannot deal with or tolerate such a misguided attitude.

I advise and recommend you spend many hours in prayer seeking the guidance of The Lord our God (for SHE is omnipotent)

Pastor Robert Ised
