Sample Decline Message
Dear Dr. Railey:
Thank you for meeting with me on Friday to discuss the opportunity for employment within your Research and Development Department. The enthusiasm and warmth of the Entergy people I met impressed me, and the position is challenging.
However, while I appreciate your generous offer, after considerable thought I have decided to decline the position. I have accepted a position elsewhere that I feel is better suited to my long-term goals.
Again, thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
(Your Name)
