Ms. R. E. Cruiter
Human Resources Manager, XYZ Paper Company

Dear Ms. Cruiter:

Thank you very much for offering me the position as a mechanical engineering intern at XYZ Company. I really appreciate the time you spent thoroughly outlining the details of the position and that you allowed me additional time to consider your offer.

XYZ Company is a great organization and there are many aspects of this position that are in line with my career goals. However, I must decline your generous offer. Since we last talked, I have received another offer at a company closer to my home. This was a very difficult decision for me, but I feel that it was most appropriate for my career at this time.

Again, thank you for your time and consideration. I hope that you will consider me for future opportunities at XYZ Company.

Sincerely,

Stu Dent
