Email Job Offer Rejection Letter sample content:
Dear {{Name}},
I, {{Name}} am writing this letter to you in response to the job offer letter which I received on {{Date}}. The offer letter was for the position of a {{Job Position}} at {{Company}}. I am really sorry but I cannot accept the offer.
I am very honored to have received this job offer letter from you but I am rejecting it because I have already been employed by another workplace. {{Company}} is a popular store in {{Location}} and working here as a {{Job Position}} would have been a great opportunity for my career but I have already confirmed by job acceptance at {{another Company}} and thus cannot accept your offer. I hope that you will understand my decision and would not hold this against me. I would like to once again thank you for your kind offer and hope to work with you sometime in the future. Thanking you. Yours sincerely,
