use of IT across departments and projects, providing advice, maintenance and technical
support, collaborate with other professionals to maintain standards and functionality.

Task 5. Write a letter declining the above job offer
1st paragraph show appreciation
Thank you very much for offering me the position of IT Consultancy Investment Banking BDM with
BDM. Regrettably, (unfortunately), however, the purpose of this letter is to withdraw my previous
acceptance of your offer
Thank you for the offer to join BDM Company. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to
interview me and to share information on the opportunity and your company.

2nd paragraph - give the reason (relocation, better opportunity, change of plans,)
I appreciate the opportunity and offer, but after further consideration, I cannot relocate at this
time for personal reasons /I cant make the move because of family obligations
However, after talking it over with my family, this is not the best time for me to relocate. This was
not an easy decision to make, and I hope you can keep me in mind if ever you create a
subsidiary in Paris and you will need someone for a similar position.
It was a difficult decision to make, but I found a better position with another company
Unfortunately, I will not be accepting the position as it does not fit the path I am taking to achieve
my career goals.
After careful consideration, I have decided to accept a position at another company.
After much thought, I have decided that now its not the best time to leave my current position.
While this position seems like a great opportunity, I have decided to pursue another role that will
offer me more opportunities to pursue my interests in finance and banking.

3rd paragraph thank again and maybe stay in touch for future collaboration?)
Again, thank you for your consideration.
Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for the offer and my regrets that it did not work
out. You have my best wishes in finding someone suitable for the position.
It has been a pleasure getting to know you, and I hope that we cross paths in the future.
Again, thank you for your time and support, and I wish you all the best.
