Letter of Job Offer
A letter of job offer is a letter that is sent to a qualified candidate offering them a job. Usually, a candidate would have applied for the job previously, and this is just a response to that application, or a recent interview. But, in rare cases, a letter of job offer could be sent without any application being submitted. A letter of job offer usually includes salary information and other essential requirements of the new job. Letters of job offer may be replied to with an acceptance or rejection, with a brief explanation of why the decision was made and how to proceed (if at all).
Starting to Write
Briefly why you have selected the candidate and if they made the first move, thank them for their interest.
Outline what the position entails, the salary and perks of the job.
Prompt the candidate to respond and note interview information if warranted.

Letter of Job Offer Rejection Due To Salary
Dear Mrs. Ford,
I would like to graciously thank you for the recent job offer at Sutterton’s, however I will have to decline the position at this time.
After evaluating my current situation, the salary offered does not meet my requirements.
That being said the position would be ideal for me, as I am looking to move in to that kind of role and I admire the work of Sutterton’s in the industry. If the salary could be increased I would definitely be open to discussing the offer further.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melvin Cameron
