What is a Job Acceptance Letter

Writing an acceptance letter is a good policy for any job seeker who has decided to take a job offer. It is positive because it reinforces your professional approach. It also provides you with the chance to document a few key things about your new job, such as your title, supervisor, salary and benefits. In this way, you clarify things and avoid misunderstandings. In the vast majority of cases, you'll never need to rely on this documentation. It is not a legal document but if any legal question arises over the terms of employment, you can certainly use it as evidence.

Keep the acceptance letter upbeat, professional and brief.

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

(Date)

(Mr./Ms. Name)
(Title)
(Employer Name)
(Address)
(City, ST ZIP)
