Dear Mr./Mrs.,

Thank you for offering me the position of [JOB POSITION] with [COMPANY]. I appreciated being able

Although there are several appealing aspects of the position, I have decided to decline your offer. At

General tips for all job-search correspondence letters:

 Keep your letters personal but professional. Avoid being overly familiar or lapsing into
colloquialisms. Letters should be typed, if possible.
 Be concise: say what you mean clearly and simply, and leave out the five dollar words.
 Focus on the positive; don’t mention the negative.
 Keep the letter to one page, preferably one-half page.
 Always address the letter to one person with his or her correct title and business address. This
shouldn’t be too difficult, since you have already met and talked with this person.
 Tailor each letter to each situation and each person. Generic letters at any stage, especially this
stage, are insulting and unprofessional.
 Be timely. Your thank you letter should be sent no more than 24 hours after the interview, and
the acceptance/rejection of an offer letter should be sent as soon as you make your decision.
 Use high quality white or off-white resume paper and envelopes.
 Remember to sign your letters, and keep copies of everything you send.
 Have someone proofread your letters before you send them. Ask your proofreader if the letter
communicates that you are a responsible, sincere person who knows how to operate in a
professional environment
