Job Acceptance Letter

Writing an acceptance letter is a good policy for any job seeker who’s decided to take a job offer. For one thing, it reinforces your professional approach. It also gives you the chance to document a few key things about your new job, such as your title, supervisor, salary and benefits. In the vast majority of cases, you’ll never need to rely on this documentation. On the other hand, it can’t hurt to be extra cautious when embarking on a new position with a new company. Keep the acceptance letter upbeat, professional and brief.

Here’s a sample you can tailor to your situation:
