Your draft will appear here. You can edit it or open it in the editor.

What the employer needs

  1. Your answer in the first sentence: yes or no, clearly.
  2. When you accept: the job title, salary and start date restated exactly as agreed, so there is a written record.
  3. When you decline: thanks, a short reason or none, and no burnt bridges. The same people may hire you in two years.
  4. A reply before the deadline they gave, or a request for more time before it passes.
