Letter Writing
A Wonderful Offer
I have to write a business letter.
The situation is that they have offered me a gift on their cost and I am not able to pay off them or do something for them in exchange.
I like to thank them and say that although I appreciate their offer I can't accept since I don't think we'll ever be able to repay them properly for their kindness.
Please could you help me reply them in a nice way. It should be done professionally.
Maybe something along the lines of this?
''Your offer is greatly appreciated.
However, I fear that I cannot accept because I do not see I am in a position to repay your offer now or in the future. That being said, this act of kindness will not be forgotten.''

My request is for chacking.
Here are two my versions:
''Thank you so much for your generous offer. Your kindness is much appreciated in this matter.
I believe any gesture or act of kindness should be reciprocated.
Since I am unable to match your generosity, I must respectfully decline such an offer.
I am very grateful at the notion of your offer, bu

I replyed them. or I replyed to them.
How do you say this? Which one is correct?
I replyed them. or I replyed to them.
P.S. I replyed them on email.

You are being overly polite for an English letter, and saying that you cannot repay it will only encourage your benefactor to press you on the matter. Here are your two messages whittled down:
Thank you very much for your generous offer. I appreciate your kindness, but I must respectfully decline.
I am very grateful at the notion of your offer, but I would feel too indebted
