Dear {Employee Name},
After much consideration, I must decline your request to transfer to {New City}. I understand that your situation requires {amenity/location/promotion/etc.}, but we are unable to make the situation tenable for both parties.
Please let me know if there are alternatives you would consider. We do currently have openings at {Alternate City 1} and {Alternate City 2}. If you are committed to moving to {New City}, I am happy to provide you with a reference and speak with you about your transition further at {time}.
Sincerely,
