Dear Contact Name, I want to thank you for your time and offer to join the Department Name team at Company Name. I regret to inform you that after further consideration, I will have to withdraw my acceptance for the role of Position Title with the company.
Dear (Hiring Manager), Thank you for the interview yesterday. I appreciated learning more about your organization and the position you're trying to fill. After careful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my application, as I've found the position you're trying to fill isn't the best fit for me.
- Be Direct and Honest: Clearly state that you are rescinding your acceptance of the job offer. - Express Gratitude: Thank the employer for the opportunity and express appreciation for their understanding. - Keep It Professional: Avoid going into too much detail about your reasons unless you feel comfortable doing so.
In most cases, you can decline a job offer after you have accepted it. If you've signed an employment agreement, check the legal implications before you withdraw your acceptance. If you can, it's better to have a conversation in person or on the phone to explain why you have decided not to take the job.
Once an offer has been accepted, it cannot be withdrawn without there being a breach of contract. However, if the offer hasn't yet been accepted, withdrawal is possible. Time and explicit wording will both be critical, and it will also be necessary to prove that the employee received notification of the withdrawal.
How to politely decline a job offer after accepting Don't ghost - communicate. Be aware of their feelings. You don't need to share your reasons. Don't dwell on the negatives. Have a chat before you send the email. Avoid unnecessary negotiations. Keep in touch. If you're accepting a different offer:
Say something akin to: ``I'm sorry but after our interview I realized that the position being offered is not going to be a good fit for me and I must decline your offer. Thank you for your time and consideration and I wish you the best of luck in finding the right match.''
Speaking to them in person is best; however, it may be more practical to call them. State clearly that the offer is being withdrawn and tell them why. If the withdrawal is due to internal issues, be honest about that. You don't need to divulge company secrets, but let them know your circumstances have changed.
When you've realized that you need to write a letter of withdrawal, follow these steps to do so: Notify the employer right away. Be honest and clear. Thank the employer for their time. Provide your contact information. Keep your options open.
Thank you very much for offering me the Job Title position with Company. I sincerely appreciate the offer and your interest in hiring me. After careful consideration, I will have to decline this role/job offer as the salary is too far outside my expectations to leave my current position.
