Respond to a job offer, negotiating a higher salary

Tip: Sometimes the salary offered does not meet your expectations. This letter will state your case clearly, preparing the way for further discussion. Keep the tone positive, confident, and respectful.

How to write a letter to respond to a job offer:

• When accepting a job offer, begin by identifying the position. Express sincere appreciation for the offer, and indicate your enthusiasm for the new position.

• If you wish to include conditions in your response letter to a job offer, be certain that they are important enough to you that you are willing to jeopardize the offer rather than accept it as it is written. Be positive and respectful, and make sure that the reader realizes that you would like to accept the offer.

• If you are sincerely interested in a position, but need more time to make your decision, express your appreciation for the job offer, and specify the amount of additional time you are requesting. You may wish to include some of the details of the offer, if you need to clarify anything. Before closing your letter, indicate the date by which you will respond with a decision.
