Task 1 - Letter writing | Need your suggestion
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2014 1:48 pm
Following is the question for task 1, which is a letter writing. It would be very useful to hear your feedback and suggestions during my preparation
Question:
You cannot go to a company where you got an offer. Write a letter to the HR supervisor to
explain the reason why you decline the offer
express you gratitude
explain you like your current job very much
My answer:
I am writing to you to express my regret for not being able to accept your job offer. I have been offered the regional sales manager position at your firm with an annual pay of $80,000.
I would like to thank you for considering me for the job. My experience with you and your staff throughout the evaluation process has been very cordial and amicable. I am sorry for all the inconvenience caused and for wasting your precious time and energy in evaluating me.
Although your offer is competitive, it is not enough for me to move from my current organisation. By accepting the offer, I will have to not only relocation to another city but also have to give up many of my valuable contacts in the current region, which are crucial in a sales career. Also in my present job I earn higher commissions which offset my lower salary. I therefore am not able to accept your otherwise munificent offer.
Thank you for your understanding.
