　　A letter Declining a Job Offer

　　Dec. 24th

　　Dear Managers,

　　I am very grateful for you to give me another job in the company. Thinking about the good opportunity you offer to me each time, I am really moved. What words should I say? It seems that words on this special occasion fail to express me. All in all, I just want to say "many many thanks for all your kindness and consideration."

　　However , I can not accept the job you offer to me. I think, there are at least three personal reasons for this. First, I can not make full use of my major which I learned at college, though you pay much attention to me. Second, I have a habit to challenge myself . If a job or learning seems to lose the meaning of challenge, I will have to quit and find a challenging one for me. Third, I am not used to working in the same place for a long time. I want to have more working experiences and know a lot of different people. Therefore, I can not accept your offer .

　　Above all, I also want to express my deep appreciation of your understanding of my decision. I think there are other qualified personnel in our company who you should give a chance. If each potential employee in our company can have a chance to prove themselves for our company, I think, the company will become a more and more competitive company and will become more and more popular because of our smart strategy in employing qualified workers. I wish the bright future for our company.

　　Best wishes for you all !

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Tom
