New York, NY
Dear Mrs. Mellish:
Thank you for the time and effort you spent considering me for a position as seminar leader. I appreciate your time and effort -- as well as those of your staff. I am grateful for your offer of employment.
Because I was so impressed with Greenley Corp., I had a difficult decision to make. After much thought and careful deliberation, however, I have decided not to accept your offer.
I wish you and Greenley Corp. the best continued success. I hope our paths will cross again in the future.
Thank you again for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jane Oakley
