Refusal Letter from Candidate rejecting Job Offer due to Salary

A candidate may decline a job offer received from an organization after making a job application and attending interviews.

This may happen due to several reasons viz. salary is low, job location is not as per preference, designation is not as per expectation, negative reviews received about the company afterwards, work days are more, etc.

Reg.: Your job offer letter dated ________ for the position of _______.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you very much for offering me the position of (Job Title) with (Name of the Organization). I appreciate you giving me the time to consider the offer and discussing all the details.

After much forethought and deliberation, I have to decline the job offer due to personal reasons/ compensation package is not commensurate with my work experience/ job-posting location is not appropriate for my family and me/ workdays are more than industry standard. This has been a difficult decision for me.

You have a fine organization and you do some fantastic work. I wish you all and the organization the very best. It was a pleasure meeting you and your staff.

Sincerely,

    (Signature)
