A Letter Declining A Job Offer

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you very much

for offering me the position of General Manager Assistant. I am really grateful that you think I'm equal to this job. However,I am so sorry to say that I have to decline this job. It's not because I don't like this job

or feel discontented with the salary you offer.

In fact, everything meets perfectly with my job expectation, except that the working place is too far away from my residence. It's a difficult decision to make,

but I have accepted a similar position from another company, which will save me an hour's course on the way to work. I am really sorry if I cause you any inconvenience.

But I resolutely believe

that you can find a more suitable person for this position with all your attractive conditions.

Respectfully yours,

Li Ming
