| Dear Mr. Tailor: | ||
| Pace the reader by saying something with which he or she will agree. | Discussing the job of District Sales Manager for Resartus Industries was one of my more interesting interviews. You made the job at Resartus sound challenging, and I'm sure that the opportunity is a good one. Thank you for giving me serious consideration. | |
| Lead and blend outcomes by providing a specific reason for the refusal and show that the refusal is best for you and for the organization. | As you know from our interview, in addition to my interest in sales, I also have a strong interest in management and motivation. Because I believe that I can be most useful in a job that will permit me to spend most of my time working on problems of employee morale and motivation, I have decided to accept a job with the Carlyle Conglomerate that will allow me to work on such problems. | |
| Motivate by expressing appriation and helping the reader focus on the future. | I do appreciate your offer and feel certain that you will be able to find the right person to serve as your District Sales Manager. | |
|   |   |   |
| Sincerely,
|
