Thank you again for writing a recommendation letter for my application to {program}. I appreciate all of the help and support you've offered as I pursue the next step in my {education/career}.
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the program this year and will have to reapply next cycle. If you wouldn't mind, I would love to keep you as a recommender next year. The letter you've written should be suitable at that time as well.
Please let me know if you'd be available, and I'll be in contact in {term/season}. Thank you again for all you've done.
