I would suggest using a custom composed personal email for negotiating salary, not using a sample. ;) Okay, now what you probably meant.When countering a salary offer via email, be professional and polite. Express gratitude for the offer and highlight your qualifications and value. If further negotiation with the candidate is necessary, HR will partner with the hiring manager to discuss the situation and, potentially, revise the offer. In general, allow the employer to bring up the topic of salary and benefits. You can state that you accept the compensation items, such as salary, benefits, paid time off, and the start date. I am tentatively accepting this offer but I would like to negotiate my salary based on my current earnings. Negotiating the terms of an offer is a common part of the job acceptance process. If it's a genuinely generous offer.
