Reassign a task that's been declined (Outlook 2003)

Just because you assign a particular task to another person doesn't mean that person is going to accept the task. Maybe the person is leaving his current position, or perhaps he's no longer working on a particular project. In any case, you'll need to reassign the declined task. To do so, open the declined task by double-clicking on it in the Task list. Next, choose Actions | Assign Task from the form's menu bar. Enter the new assignee in the To field of the form, and then click Send. That's all there is to it!
