Is this a good letter to.................

Question

refuse a job...?

It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the Cashier position at ---------. I was very pleased to receive the offer and after very careful consideration, have reluctantly decided not to accept on this occasion.

Although the terms of the offer are very generous, I would keep ------ in mind if I am ever need of a job.

I would like to thank you for considering my application and I wish you every success in filling the position.

Sincerely Yours..

I would write the date, name of company, and name of the person whom I had an interview with.

Any other suggestion? Thanks.. and No rude comments!

Answer 1

Since you're so against actually saying what's on your mind and not letting other people say it either ("... No rude comments!") You should just be frank about it instead of trying to pretty it up.

It's a ******* cashier position. It's not like they are considering letting you become a CEO for an important business. The letter is very unnecessary and it would be seen as desperation and not a way to ensure your unimportant job placement.

tl;dr: Quit.

Answer 2

I think it's a beautiful letter.  Ignore that first person.  Just because it's (only) a cashier position is no reason not to be polite about it.  Good luck in the future.  You sound like a great person and any company would be lucky to have you work for them.

Answer 3

The first thing I noticed in your letter was your over use of the word 'very". Use it somewhere once if at all. Instead of saying "decided not to accept on this occasion", use the words "at this time" instead of occasion. I don't think your use of the word "reluctantly" is appropriate.  I would write it like this:

It was enjoyable to speak with you about the cashier position at------. Although I was pleased to receive the offer, I have decided to accept another position.

Thank you for your time and consideration.  I wish you success in filling the position.

Answer 4

no it's good...it's simple and decisive..

Answer 5

Instead of

"It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the Cashier position at ---------. "  

You should write something like

"Thank youf or taking the time to interview me for the position of cashier at ______________.

Also, if you have chosen another job, you need to say something like this...

Because of ___________ (could be higher pay offered, closer to home etc...)  I have chosen to take another position with another company.

Answer 6

You should leave out the second paragraph.  Sounds too hauty.  Also in the first paragraph, do not use ocassion.  Say this, " have reluctantly decided not to accept your position.
