Example of letter refusal

You will want to format the letter into one paragraph - I broke it up like this due to the personal choice you will need to make in the Wording of the letter.

DATE OF LETTER HERE

Dear (Potential Employer),

Thank you for the potential job opportunity you have offered to me. I regret to say that at this time I must decline due to personal reasons (if you want, be specific here).

HERE YOU NEED TO CHOOSE ONE OF THESE SENTENCES, NOT BOTH*

a) I would like to request that you keep my information on file so that you can contact me about positions available within your organization at a later time.

OR

b) I respectfully request that you remove my name from the list of applicants.

I would like to thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME HERE
