Letter Declining A Job Offer After Accepting Another Job

Many candidates simultaneously apply for jobs in different companies. They accept the job offer depending upon the package and profile offered by such companies where they are selected.

If you receive a job offer from a company after accepting a job offer from another company, then you ought to communicate this news as soon as possible to the other company, as upon receiving this info from you they will proceed with other candidates for the job. Such professionalism is appreciated.

You can reply to the company by a letter or an email. Simply, communicate the fact politely that you have accepted another job offer; hence, you are unable to accept their offer.
