Close to dying?? Yes tell him you'll do it. And actually make a prayer while you're at it
Depends on whether you want to: be polite but non-committal, contemptuous, passively aggressive, bluff or downright disrespectful to the dying/any religious loudmouth who asks you and all other likeminded individuals.

They just would appreciate you to make a prayer for them, I'm sure there is context, like if they ask you to make dua for their exam, you can pray for them to do well etc.
if someone asks you to do a dua for them how do you respond?
Dua is a meaningless concept. It is asking Allah to alter his infallible, immutable plan, changing an outcome of events in favour of a particular person or group. However, this cannot happen because it would mean that Allah does not know the future and his plan was not perfect and unchangeable.
So, I would politely explain this to them and suggest that they approach the problem in a more rational and realistic manner. Of course, if they are a devout Muslim, then they must simply accept whatever outcome Allah has planned for them. To do otherwise would be to challenge god's authority.
