A job acceptance letter must clearly and briefly state the following:
- Express gratitude for the opportunity granted in employment.
- Formally accept the job offer through writing consent.
- Initiation date of employment
- Underline the terms and conditions of employment. (i.e. salary, benefits)
Directly address the person that granted you the position in the department. Include your contact information such as phone number, e-mail address, etc. (A formality that an employer will appreciate)
Proof-read and make sure your work is free of any mistakes. A well-written acceptance letter must be free of any typos or grammatical errors.
The correspondence letter to a job offer must keep intact with a professional attention to detail and formality. Reinforcing a professional approach to each matter dealt with. An acceptance should be clear, concise, and up-beat.
