While receiving several offers (for internship), or for example having an offer just before the incoming superday or final interview, how to turn down an offer in a form that remain respectful and to not worsen the chances getting an internship at that company which I turned down someday?
All the advice is appreciated.

Say you really appreciate the offer but have unfortunately already committed to another opportunity during the same time period. Then thank them for considering you/their time and say you enjoyed the interview process etc.
Thank you
They don't care about you man. You could send a beautiful, heartfelt email about why you are turning down an internship offer, and they will still ghost you. Literally, just thank them for their time like you (hopefully) do at the end of every networking call. What else would you even say? "I'm turning down yalls offer for a better offer, but thanks!"
Hmm, quite solid logic. thanks
