Dear _________________:
A number of people have asked me to comment on a rumor that _________________. The only comment I can make about this rumor is that I don't know whether it is true or false.
I assume that over the next _________________ the truth will emerge, and we'll all know the facts. In the meantime, let's try to focus on what we all know, and that is that we have a lot of work to get done.
Sincerely,
