To whom may concern how to say ‘no’ or refuse to do something. Then we can use or show it in any polite way to avoid your awkward feeling or something else.

People in communication, is not always but usually at some time they still have to say ‘no’, but how to say it and then cannot make others unhappy? In English, it can be so politely to refuse and you can apply in the following ways.

     I can’t right now, but maybe later.
     នៅ​ពេល​នេះ​ខ្ញុំ​មិន​អាច​ដក​ដៃ​បាន​ទេ សូម​ចាំ​បន្តិច​ទៀត​ចុះ​ណា៎! (ចាំ​លើក​ក្រោយចុះ)
It means that it might be able to do it in the future, but now it cannot.

     Sorry but that isn’t my strong suit.
     សុំទោស​ផង ខ្ញុំ​មិន​មាន​សមត្ថភាព​លើ​ការ​ងារ​ខាង​ផ្នែក​នេះ​ទេ។
To show you are not good at the point others asking for help.

     I’m sure you will do fine on your own.
     ខ្ញុំ​ជឿ​ជាក់​ថា​អ្នក​អា​ច​ធ្វើ​វា​បាន​ដោយ​សមត្ថ​ភាព​ផ្ទាល់​ខ្លួនឯង។
It is a polite way to tell people to do their own tasks by themselves rather than to ask another for help.

     I’m afraid I’m committed to something else.
     ខ្ញុំ​ដូច​ជា​នៅ​មាន​ការ​ងារ​ផ្ទាល់​ខ្លួន​ផ្សេង​ទៀត​ត្រូវ​ធ្វើ។
You can say like this if you have another plan to do.

     I’m sorry, but I have an emergency to attend to.
     ឲ្យ​ខ្ញុំ​សុំ​ទោស​ផង ខ្ញុំ​មាន​ធុរៈ​បន្ទាន់​ត្រូវ​ទៅ​បំពេញ។
In this way, since you have some urgent tasks to do then rarely be able to hand on others’ business.
