Email Rejecting Employment Offer  
Dear Mr. Spacely:  
Thank you very much for your email offering me the position of Marketing Assistant with Spacely Sprockets.  
While I appreciate the challenging opportunity you offer, I have had another offer which I believe more closely 
aligns with my current career goals and interests.  Therefore, although it was a difficult decision, I must decline 
your offer.   
I appreciate all the courtesy and hospitality extended by your office, and I wish you the best in your 
endeavors. 
Sincerely,  
Bobby Gateway
