How to decline tenant application correctly & politely?

Hello BP family! Asking for help & guidance, I am new in this landlording & tenant screening.

We have a two bath, two bedroom condo in Orlando. It is A midterm rental. The current applicant wants fo lease for 6 mos. He has 500 credit score and has two criminal backgrounds. 1st criminal was traffic- running in red. 2nd was battery of an officer in 2019 and was charged as felony.  We are not comfortable renting out to him. Our mindset might be wrong, pls advise.

If we decline, how do we tell him correctly & politely? 

Thank you!
